The Queen o' Spain had an ill gude man	A
The carle was auld and grey	B
She has keeked in the glass at Hallow een	A
A better chance to spae	C
	-
She's kaimit out her lang black hair	D
That fell below her knee	A
She's ta'en the apple in her hand	E
To see what she might see	A
	-
Then first she saw her ain fair face	F
And then the glass grew white	G
And syne as black as the mouth o' Hell	H
Or the sky on a winter night	G
	-
But last she saw the bonniest man	A
That ever her eyes had seen	A
His hair was gold and his eyes were grey	B
And his plaid was red and green	A
	-
Oh the Spanish men are unco black	I
And unco blate she said	J
And they wear their mantles swart and side	K
No the bonny green and red	J
	-
Oh where shall I find sic a man	A
That is the man for me	A
She has filled a ship wi' the gude red gold	L
And she has ta'en the sea	A
	-
And she's sailed west and she's sailed east	M
And mony a man she's seen	A
But never the man wi' the hair o' gold	L
And the plaid o' red and green	A
	-
And she's sailed east and she's sailed west	N
Till she cam' to a narrow sea	A
The water ran like a river in spate	O
And the hills were wondrous hie	P
	-
And there she spied a bonny bay	B
And houses on the strand	E
And there the man in the green and red	J
Came rowing frae the land	E
	-
Says Welcome here ye bonny maid	Q
Ye're welcome here for me	A
Are ye the Lady o' merry Elfland	Q
Or the Queen o' some far countrie	B
	-
I am na the Lady o' fair Elfland	Q
But I am the Queen o' Spain	A
He's lowted low and kissed her hand	Q
Says They ca' me the McLean	A
	-
Then it's a' for the aefold love o' thee	A
That I hae sailed the faem	A
But out and alas he has answered her	B
For I hae a wife at hame	A
	-
Ye maun cast her into a massymore	B
Or away on a tide swept isle	R
But out and alas he's answered her	B
For my wife's o' the bluid o' Argyll	R
	-
Oh they twa sat and they twa grat	Q
And made their weary maen	A
Till McLean has ridden to Dowart Castle	S
And left the Queen her lane	A
	-
His wife was a Campbell fair and fause	A
Says Lachlan where hae ye been	A
Oh I hae been at Tobermory	B
And kissed the hand o' a Queen	A
	-
Oh we maun send the Queen a stag	T
And grouse for her propine	A
And we'll send her a cask o' the usquebaugh	B
And a butt o' the red French wine	A
	-
She has put a bomb in the clairet butt	Q
And eke a burning lowe	U
She has sent them away wi' her little foot page	V
That cam' frae the black Lochow	W
	-
	-
	-
The morn McLean rade forth to see	A
The last blink o' his Queen	A
There stude her ship in the harbour gude	Q
Upon the water green	A
	-
But there cam' a crash like a thunder clap	C
And a cloud on the water green	A
The bonny ship in flinders flew	X
And drooned was the bonny Queen	A
	-
McLean he speirit nor gude nor bad	Q
His skian dubh he's ta'en	A
And he's cuttit the throat o' that fause foot page	V
And sundered his white hausebane	A
