Rise up rise up now Lord Douglas she says	A
And put on your armour so bright	B
Sweet William will hae Lady Margaret awi'	C
Before that it be light	B
	-
Rise up rise up my seven bold sons	D
And put on your armour so bright	B
And take better care of your youngest sister	E
For your eldest's awa' the last night	B
	-
He's mounted her on a milk white steed	F
And himself on a dapple grey	G
With a buglet horn hung down by his side	H
And lightly they rode away	G
	-
Lord William lookit o'er his left shoulder	E
To see what he could see	I
And there he spied her seven brethren bold	J
Come riding o'er the lea	I
	-
Light down light down Lady Margaret he said	K
And hold my steed in your hand	L
Until that against your seven brethren bold	J
And your father I make a stand	L
	-
She held his steed in her milk white hand	L
And never shed one tear	M
Until that she saw her seven brethren fa'	N
And her father hard fighting who loved her so dear	O
	-
O hold your hand Lord William she said	K
For your strokes they are wondrous sair	O
True lovers I can get many a ane	P
But a father I can never get mair	O
	-
O she's ta'en out her handkerchief	N
It was o' the holland sae fine	Q
And aye she dighted her father's bloody wounds	R
That were redder than the wine	Q
	-
O chuse O chuse Lady Margaret he said	K
O whether will ye gang or bide	H
I'll gang I'll gang Lord William she said	K
For you have left me nae other guide	H
	-
He's lifted her on a milk white steed	F
And himself on a dapple grey	O
With a buglet horn hung down by his side	H
And slowly they baith rade away	O
	-
O they rade on and on they rade	H
And a' by the light of the moon	S
Until they came to yon wan water	O
And there they lighted down	T
	-
They lighted down to tak a drink	U
Of the spring that ran sae clear	O
And down the stream ran his gude heart's blood	H
And sair she 'gan to fear	O
	-
Hold up hold up Lord William she says	A
For I fear that you are slain	P
'Tis naething but the shadow of my scarlet cloak	V
That shines in the water sae plain	P
	-
O they rade on and on they rade	H
And a' by the light of the moon	S
Until they came to his mother's ha' door	O
And there they lighted down	T
	-
Get up get up lady mother he says	A
Get up and let me in	W
Get up get up lady mother he says	A
For this night my fair lady I've win	W
	-
O mak my bed lady mother he says	A
O mak it braid and deep	X
And lay Lady Margaret close at my back	Y
And the sounder I will sleep	X
	-
Lord William was dead lang ere midnight	H
Lady Margaret lang ere day	H
And all true lovers that go thegither	O
May they have mair luck than they	H
	-
Lord William was buried in St Marie's kirk	Z
Lady Margaret in Marie's quire	O
Out o' the lady's grave grew a bonny red rose	A2
And out o' the knight's a brier	O
	-
And they twa met and they twa plat	H
And fain they wad be near	O
And a' the world might ken right weel	I
They were twa lovers dear	O
	-
But bye and rade the black Douglas	B2
And wow but he was rough	N
For he pulled up the bonny brier	O
And flanged in St Marie's Loch	C2
