They hae ta’en Young Waters, and
Thrown him in dungeon deep.

In the wind but and the weet;
But I neir rade thro’ Stirling town
Wi’ fetters at my feet.

Neir to return again.’

They hae ta’en to the heiding-hill[515]
His young son in his craddle;
And they hae ta’en to the heiding-hill
His horse but and his saddle.

They hae ta’en to the heiding-hill
His lady fair to see;
And for the words the Queen had spoke
Young Waters he did dee.
