‘I wad lourd have had a winding-sheet,

And helped to put it ower his head,

Ere he had been disgraced by the border Scot,

Whan he ower Liddel his men did lead!’

There was a wild gallant amang us a’,

His name was Watty wi the Wudspurs,

Cried, On for his house in Stanegirthside,

If ony man will ride with us!
