The King has gi'en the Queen a gift	A
For her May day's propine	B
He's gi'en her a band o' the diamond stane	B
Set in the siller fine	B
	-
The Queen she walked in Falkland yaird	A
Beside the Hollans green	B
And there she saw the bonniest man	B
That ever her eyes had seen	B
	-
His coat was the Ruthven white and red	A
Sae sound asleep was he	C
The Queen she cried on May Beatrix	D
That seely lad to see	C
	-
Oh wha sleeps here May Beatrix	D
Without the leave o' me	C
Oh wha suld it be but my young brother	E
Frae Padua ower the sea	C
	-
My father was the Earl Gowrie	E
An Earl o' high degree	E
But they hae slain him by fause treason	B
And gar'd my brothers flee	E
	-
At Padua hae they learned their leir	E
In the fields o' Italie	E
And they hae crossed the saut sea faem	C
And a' for love o' me	C
	-
	-
	-
The Queen has cuist her siller band	A
About his craig o' snaw	B
But still he slept and naething kenned	A
Aneth the Hollans shaw	F
	-
The King he daundered thro' the yaird	A
He saw the siller shine	B
And wha quoth he is this galliard	A
That wears yon gift o' mine	B
	-
The King has gane till the Queen's ain bower	E
An angry man that day	A
But bye there cam' May Beatrix	D
And stole the band away	A
	-
And she's run in by the dern black yett	A
Straight till the Queen ran she	C
Oh tak ye back your siller band	A
Or it gar my brother dee	C
	-
The Queen has linked her siller band	A
About her middle sma'	C
And then she heard her ain gudeman	B
Come rowting through the ha'	C
	-
Oh whare he cried is the siller band	A
I gied ye late yestreen	B
The knops was a' o' the diamond stane	B
Set in the siller sheen	B
	-
Ye hae camped birling at the wine	B
A' nicht till the day did daw	A
Or ye wad ken your siller band	A
About my middle sma'	C
	-
The King he stude the King he glowered	A
Sae hard as a man micht stare	E
Deil hae me Like is a richt ill mark	G
Or I saw it itherwhere	E
	-
I saw it round young Ruthven's neck	H
As he lay sleeping still	E
And faith but the wine was wondrous guid	A
Or my wife is wondrous ill	E
	-
	-
	-
There was na gane a week a week	I
A week but barely three	E
The King has hounded John Ramsay out	A
To gar young Ruthven dee	E
	-
They took him in his brother's house	J
Nae sword was in his hand	A
And they hae slain him young Ruthven	B
The bonniest in the land	A
	-
And they hae slain his fair brother	E
And laid him on the green	B
And a' for a band o' the siller fine	B
And a blink o' the eye o' the Queen	B
	-
Oh had they set him man to man	B
Or even ae man to three	E
There was na a knight o' the Ramsay bluid	A
Had gar'd Earl Gowrie dee	A
