And washed the blood from off his wound,

But aye it bled the mair.

5. "Oh brither dear, take me on your back,

Carry me to yon kirk-yard,

And dig a grave baith wide and deep.

And lay my body there."

6. He's taen him up upon his back,

Carried him to yon kirk-yard,

And dug a grave baith deep and wide,

And laid his body there.
