The pistol proved so active, the sword she used so free,
That she shot and slew the squire, on the banks of sweet Dundee.
Her uncle overheard the noise, and hastened to the ground,
"Since you have slain the squire, I'll give you your death wound,"
"Stand off, stand off," said Mary, "undaunted I will be,"
She the trigger drew, and her uncle slew, on the banks of sweet Dundee.
The doctor he was sent for, a man of noted skill,
And likewise was a lawyer, all for to sign his will,
He willed his gold to Mary, who fought so manfully,
And closed his eyes no more to rise on the banks of sweet Dundee.
