Volunteerly to ramble with [Lord Loudon Campbell],
Brave [Ilay] did suffer for a', man.
And we ran, &c.
[Sir John Schaw], that great knight, with broad sword most bright,15
On horseback he briskly did charge, man;
[A hero that's bold], none could him withhold,
He stoutly encounter'd the targemen.
And we ran, &c.
For the cowardly Whittam, for fear they should cut him,
Seeing glittering broad swords with a pa', man,
And that in such thrang, made Baird edicang,21
And from the brave clans ran awa, man.
And we ran, &c.
[The great Colonel Dow gade foremost, I trow,
When Whittam's dragoons ran awa, man;
Except Sandy Baird, and Naughtan the laird,25
Their horse shaw'd their heels to them a', man.
And we ran, &c.]
Brave Mar and [Panmure] were firm, I am sure:
The latter was kidnapt awa, man;
With brisk men about, brave Harry retook
His brother, and laugh'd at them a', man.30
And we ran, &c.
Brave [Marshall, and Lithgow, and Glengary]'s pith, too,
Assisted by brave [Loggia], man,
And Gordons the bright, so boldly did fight,
That the redcoats took flight and awa, man.
And we ran, &c.
[Strathmore and Clanronald] cried still, "Advance, Donald,"35
Till both of these heroes did fa', man;
For there was such hashing, and broad swords a-clashing,
Brave [Forfar] himsel got a claw, man.
And we ran, &c.
[Lord Perth] stood the storm, [Seaforth] but lukewarm,
[Kilsyth, and Strathallan] not slaw, man;40
And [Hamilton] pled the men were not bred,
For he had no fancy to fa', man.
And we ran, &c.
