He was a braw gallant,
And he play’d at the gluve;
And the bonny Earl of Murray,
O he was the Queen’s luve!
VI
O lang will his Lady
Look owre the Castle Downe,
Ere she see the Earl of Murray
Come sounding through the town!
[96. Bonny George Campbell]
I
Hie upon Hielands,
And laigh[585] upon Tay,
Bonny George Campbell
Rade out on a day:
Saddled and bridled,
Sae gallant to see,
Hame cam’ his gude horse,
But never cam’ he.
II
Down ran his auld mither,
Greetin[586]’ fu’ sair;
Out ran his bonny bride,
Reaving[587] her hair;
‘My meadow lies green,
And my corn is unshorn,
My barn is to bigg[588],
And my babe is unborn.’
