The Bonny Earl of Murray

Ye Highlands and ye Lawlands,

O where hae ye been?

They hae slain the Earl of Murray,

And hae laid him on the green.

Now wae be to thee, Huntley!

And whairfore did ye sae!

I bade you bring him wi' you,

But forbade you him to slay.

He was a braw gallant,

And he rid at the ring;

Ana the bonny Earl of Murray,

O he might hae been a king!

He was a braw gallant,

And he play'd at the ba';

And the bonny Earl of Murray

Was the flower amang them a'!

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!
