Child vi Early Edition	A
	-
	-
Foul fa' the breast first treason bred in	B
That Liddesdale may safely say	C
For in it there was baith meat and drink	D
And corn unto our geldings gay	C
	-
We were stout hearted men and true	E
As England it did often say	C
But now we may turn our backs and fly	F
Since brave Noble is seld away	C
	-
Now Hobie he was an English man	G
And born into Bewcastle dale	H
But his misdeeds they were sae great	I
They banish'd him to Liddisdale	H
	-
At Kershope foot the tryst was set	J
Kershope of the lilye lee	H
And there was traitour Sim o' the Mains	K
With him a private companie	G
	-
Then Hobie has graith'd his body weel	H
I wat it was wi' baith good iron and steel	H
And he has pull'd out his fringed grey	C
And there brave Noble he rade him weel	H
	-
Then Hobie is down the water gane	G
E'en as fast as he may drie	C
Tho' they shoud a' brusten and broken their hearts	L
Frae that tryst Noble he would na be	H
	-
Weel may ye be my feiries five	M
And aye what is your wills wi' me	H
Then they cry'd a' wi' ae consent	N
Thou'rt welcome here brave Noble to me	H
	-
Wilt thou with us in England ride	O
And thy safe warrand we will be	H
If we get a horse worth a hundred punds	L
Upon his back that thou shalt be	H
	-
I dare not with you into England ride	O
The Land sergeant has me at feid	O
I know not what evil may betide	O
For Peter of Whitfield his brother is dead	O
	-
And Anton Shiel he loves not me	H
For I gat twa drifts o his sheep	P
The great Earl of Whitfield loves me not	O
For nae gear frae me he e'er could keep	P
	-
But will ye stay till the day gae down	G
Until the night come o'er the grund	O
And I'll be a guide worth ony twa	C
That may in Liddesdale be fund	O
	-
Tho' dark the night as pitch and tar	C
I'll guide ye o'er yon hills fu' hie	Q
And bring ye a' in safety back	R
If ye'll be true and follow me	H
	-
He's guided them o'er moss and muir	C
O'er hill and houp and mony a down	G
Til they came to the Foulbogshiel	H
And there brave Noble he lighted down	G
	-
But word is gane to the Land sergeant	O
In Askirton where that he lay	H
The deer that ye hae hunted lang	S
Is seen into the Waste this day	H
	-
Then Hobbie Noble is that deer	C
I wat he carries the style fu' hie	Q
Aft has he beat your slough hounds back	R
And set yourselves at little lee	H
	-
Gar warn the bows of Hartlie burn	G
See they shaft their arrows on the wa'	C
Warn Willeva and Spear Edom	H
And see the morn they meet me a'	T
	-
Gar meet me on the Rodric haugh	Q
And see it be by break o' day	H
And we will on to Conscowthart Green	G
For there I think we'll get our prey	H
	-
Then Hobbie Noble has dream'd a dream	H
In the Foulbogshiel where that he lay	H
He thought his horse was neath him shot	O
And he himself got hard away	H
	-
The cocks could crow the day could dawn	G
And I wot so even down fell the rain	G
If Hobbie had no waken'd at that time	H
In the Foulbogshiel he had been tane or slain	G
	-
Get up get up my feiries five	M
For I wot here makes a fu' ill day	H
Yet the warst cloak of this companie	G
I hope shall cross the Waste this day	H
	-
Now Hobie thought the gates were clear	C
But ever alas it was not sae	L
They were beset wi' cruel men and keen	G
That away brave Hobbie could not gae	F
	-
Yet follow me my feiries five	M
And see of me ye keep good ray	H
And the worst cloak o' this companie	G
I hope shall cross the Waste this day	H
	-
There was heaps of men now Hobbie before	C
And other heaps was him behind	O
That had he wight as Wallace was	L
Away brave Noble he could not win	G
	-
Then Hobie he had but a laddies sword	O
But he did more than a laddies deed	O
In the midst of Conscouthart Green	G
He brake it oer Jersawigham's head	O
	-
Now they have tane brave Hobie Noble	H
Wi' his ain bowstring they band him sae	L
And I wat heart was ne'er sae sair	C
As when his ain five band him on the brae	C
	-
They have tane him on for West Carlisle	H
They ask'd him if he knew the why	F
Whate'er he thought yet little he said	O
He knew the way as well as they	C
	-
They hae ta'en him up the Ricker gate	O
The wives they cast their windows wide	O
And every wife to anither can say	C
That's the man loos'd Jock o' the Side	O
	-
Fye on ye women why ca' ye me man	G
For it's nae man that I'm used like	U
I am but like a forfoughen hound	O
Has been fighting in a dirty syke	U
	-
Then they hae tane him up thro' Carlisle town	G
And set him by the chimney fire	C
They gave brave Noble a wheat loaf to eat	O
And that was little his desire	C
	-
Then they gave him a wheat loaf to eat	O
And after that a can o beer	C
Then they cried a' with ae consent	O
Eat brave Noble and make gude cheer	C
	-
Confess my lord's horse Hobie they said	O
And the morn in Carlisle thou's no die	F
How shall I confess them Hobie says	L
For I never saw them with mine eye	F
	-
Then Hobie has sworn a fu' great aith	C
By the day that he was gotten and born	G
He never had ony thing o' my lord's	L
That either eat him grass or corn	G
	-
Now fare thee weel sweet Mangerton	G
For I think again I'll ne'er thee see	L
I wad betray nae lad alive	M
For a' the goud in Christentie	F
	-
And fare thee weel sweet Liddesdale	H
Baith the hie land and the law	H
Keep ye weel frae traitor Mains	L
For goud and gear he'll sell ye a'	T
	-
Yet wad I rather be ca'd Hobie Noble	H
In Carlisle where he suffers for his faut	F
Before I'd be ca'd traitor Mains	L
That eats and drinks of the meal and maut	F
