They hae ta'en young Waters,

And thrown him in dungeon deep.

"Aft I have ridden thro' Stirling town,

In the wind but and the weet;

But I ne'er rade thro' Stirling town

Wi' fetters at my feet.

"Aft have I ridden thro' Stirling town,

In the wind but and the rain;

But I ne'er rade thro' Stirling town

Ne'er to return again."
