In [Glen-Prosen] we rendezvous'd,
March'd to Glenshie by night and day,
And took the town of Aberdeen,
And met the Campbells in their array.40
Five thousand men, in armour strong,
Did meet the gallant Grahams that day
At Inverlochie, where war began,
And scarce two thousand men were they.
Gallant Montrose, that chieftain bold,45
Courageous in the best degree,
Did for the king fight well that day;
The Lord preserve his majestie!
[Nathaniel Gordon], stout and bold,
Did for King Charles [wear the blue];50
But the cavaliers they all were sold,
And brave [Harthill], a cavalier too.
And [Newton-Gordon], burd-alone,
And [Dalgatie], both stout and keen,
And gallant [Veitch] upon the field,55
A braver face was never seen.
Now, fare ye weel, Sweet Ennerdale!
Countrie and kin I quit ye free;
Cheer up your hearts, brave cavaliers,
For the Grahams are gone to High Germany.
