‘Three men I’ll take to set him free,

Weel harnessd a’wi best o steel;

The English rogues may hear, and drie

The weight o their braid swords to feel.

‘The Laird’s Jock ane, the Laird’s Wat twa,

Oh, Hobie Noble, thou ane maun be;

Thy coat is blue, thou has been true,

Since England banishd thee, to me.’
