Of all the maids of fair Scotland	A
The fairest was Marjorie	B
And young Benjie was her ae true love	C
And a dear true love was he	B
	-
And wow but they were lovers dear	D
And lov'd full constantlie	E
But aye the mair when they fell out	F
The sairer was their plea	E
	-
And they ha'e quarrell'd on a day	G
Till Marjorie's heart grew wae	H
And she said she'd chuse another luve	C
And let young Benjie gae	I
	-
And he was stout and proud hearted	J
And thought o't bitterlie	E
And he's gane by the wan moonlight	K
To meet his Marjorie	E
	-
Oh open open my true love	C
Oh open and let me in	L
I darena open young Benjie	M
My three brothers are within	L
	-
Ye lee ye lee ye bonnie burd	N
Sae loud's I hear ye lee	E
As I came by the Louden banks	O
They bade gude e'en to me	E
	-
But fare ye weel my ae fause love	C
That I have lov'd sae lang	P
It sets ye chuse another love	C
And let young Benjie gang	P
	-
Then Marjorie turn'd her round about	F
The tear blinding her e'e	E
I darena darena let thee in	L
But I'll come down to thee	E
	-
Then salt she smil'd and said to him	Q
Oh what ill ha'e I done	R
He took her in his arms twa	H
And threw her o'er the linn	L
	-
The stream was strong the maid was stout	F
And laith laith to be dang	P
But ere she wan the Louden banks	O
Her fair colour was wan	S
	-
Then up bespake her eldest brother	T
Oh see na ye what I see	E
And out then spake her second brother	T
It is our sister Marjorie	E
	-
Out then spake her eldest brother	T
Oh how shall we her ken	U
And out then spake her youngest brother	T
There's a honey mark on her chin	L
	-
Then they've ta'en the comely corpse	V
And laid it on the ground	W
Saying Wha has kill'd our ae sister	T
And how can he be found	W
	-
The night it is her low lykewake	P
The morn her burial day	G
And we maun watch at mirk midnight	K
And hear what she will say	G
	-
With doors ajar and candles light	K
And torches burning clear	D
The streekit corpse till still midnight	K
They waked but naething hear	X
	-
About the middle of the night	K
The cocks began to craw	Y
And at the dead hour of the night	K
The corpse began to thraw	Y
	-
Oh wha has done thee wrang sister	Y
Or dared the deadly sin	L
Wha was sae stout and fear'd nae dout	K
As throw ye o'er the linn	L
	-
Young Benjie was the first ae man	Z
I laid my love upon	S
He was sae stout and proud hearted	K
He threw me o'er the linn	L
	-
Shall we young Benjie head sister	Y
Shall we young Benjie hang	P
Or shall we pike out his twa gray een	L
And punish him ere he gang	P
	-
Ye maunna Benjie head brothers	A2
Ye maunna Benjie hang	P
But ye maun pike out his twa gray een	L
And punish him ere he gang	P
	-
Tie a green gravat round his neck	P
And lead him out and in	L
And the best ae servant about your house	B2
To wait young Benjie on	L
	-
And aye at every seven years' end	K
Ye'll take him to the linn	L
For that's the penance he maun dree	Y
To scug his deadly sin	L
