YE Highlands and ye Lawlands, <br />O where hae ye been? <br />They hae slain the Earl of Murray, <br /> And hae laid him on the green. <br /> <br />Now wae be to thee, Huntley! <br /> And whairfore did ye 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 />Ana the bonny Earl of Murray, <br /> O he might hae been a king! <br /> <br />He was a braw gallant, <br /> And he play'd at the ba'; <br />And the bonny Earl of Murray <br /> Was the flower amang them a'! <br /> <br />He was a braw gallant, <br /> And he play'd at the gluve; <br />And the bonny Earl of Murray, <br /> O he was the Queen's luve! <br /> <br />O lang will his Lady <br /> Look owre the Castle Downe, <br />Ere she see the Earl of Murray <br /> Come sounding through the town!<br /><br />Anonymous<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-bonny-earl-of-murray-2/
