Ye highlands, and ye lawlands, <br />Oh! whair hae ye been? <br />They hae slaine the earl of Murray, <br />And hae layd him on the green. <br /> <br />Now wae be to thee, Huntley! <br />And whairfore did you sae! <br />I bade you bring him wi' you, <br />But forbade you him to slay. <br /> <br />He was a braw gallant, <br />And he rid at the ring; <br />And the bonny earl of Murray, <br />Oh! he might hae been a king. <br /> <br />He was a braw gallant, <br />And he playd at the ba'; <br />And the bonny earl of Murray <br />Was the flower among them a'. <br /> <br />He was a braw gallant, <br />And he playd at the gluve; <br />And the bonny earl of Murray, <br />Oh! he was the queenes luve. <br /> <br />Oh! lang will his lady <br />Luke owre the castle downe, <br />Ere she see the earl of Murray <br />Cum sounding throw the towne.<br /><br />Thomas Percy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-bonny-earl-of-murray/
