'TWAS in the seventeen hunder year	A
O' grace and ninety five	B
That year I was the wae'est man	C
Of ony man alive	B
	-
	-
In March the three an' twentieth morn	D
The sun raise clear an' bright	E
But oh I was a waefu' man	C
Ere to fa' o' the night	E
	-
	-
Yerl Galloway lang did rule this land	F
Wi' equal right and fame	G
And thereto was his kinsmen join'd	H
The Murray's noble name	G
	-
	-
Yerl Galloway's man o' men was I	I
And chief o' Broughton's host	J
So twa blind beggars on a string	K
The faithfu' tyke will trust	L
	-
	-
But now Yerl Galloway's sceptre's broke	M
And Broughton's wi' the slain	N
And I my ancient craft may try	I
Sin' honesty is gane	N
	-
	-
'Twas by the banks o' bonie Dee	O
Beside Kirkcudbright's towers	P
The Stewart and the Murray there	Q
Did muster a' their powers	P
	-
	-
Then Murray on the auld grey yaud	O
Wi' winged spurs did ride	O
That auld grey yaud a' Nidsdale rade	O
He staw upon Nidside	O
	-
	-
And there had na been the Yerl himsel	R
O there had been nae play	R
But Garlies was to London gane	N
And sae the kye might stray	R
	-
	-
And there was Balmaghie I ween	N
In front rank he wad shine	N
But Balmaghie had better been	N
Drinkin' Madeira wine	N
	-
	-
And frae Glenkens cam to our aid	O
A chief o' doughty deed	O
In case that worth should wanted be	O
O' Kenmure we had need	O
	-
	-
And by our banners march'd Muirhead	O
And Buittle was na slack	S
Whase haly priesthood nane could stain	N
For wha could dye the black	S
	-
	-
And there was grave squire Cardoness	P
Look'd on till a' was done	N
Sae in the tower o' Cardoness	P
A howlet sits at noon	N
	-
	-
And there led I the Bushby clan	N
My gamesome billie Will	R
And my son Maitland wise as brave	T
My footsteps follow'd still	R
	-
	-
The Douglas and the Heron's name	G
We set nought to their score	U
The Douglas and the Heron's name	G
Had felt our weight before	U
	-
	-
But Douglasses o' weight had we	O
The pair o' lusty lairds	P
For building cot houses sae fam'd	O
And christenin' kail yards	P
	-
	-
And there Redcastle drew his sword	O
That ne'er was stain'd wi' gore	U
Save on a wand'rer lame and blind	O
To drive him frae his door	U
	-
	-
And last cam creepin' Collieston	N
Was mair in fear than wrath	V
Ae knave was constant in his mind	O
To keep that knave frae scaith	V
