But mony a gallant Englishman,

Ere day the Scotsmen slew.

The Gordons good, in English blood,

They steep'd their hose and shoon;

The Lindsays flew like fire about,

Till all the fray was done.

The Percy and Montgomery met,

That either of other were fain;

They swapped swords, and they twa swat,

And aye the blude ran down between.
