O will ye hear a mirthful bourd	A
Or will ye hear of courtesie	B
Or will ye hear how a gallant lord	A
Was wedded to a gay ladye	C
	-
'Ca' out the kye ' quo' the village herd	A
As he stood on the knowe	D
'Ca' this ane's nine and that ane's ten	E
And bauld Lord William's cow '	-
	-
'I swear by the light of the Michaelmas moon	F
And the might of Mary high	G
And by the edge of my braidsword brown	H
They shall soon say Harden's kye '	-
	-
He took a bugle frae his side	A
With names carved o'er and o'er	I
Full many a chief of meikle pride	A
That Border bugle bore	J
	-
He blew a note baith sharp and hie	K
Till rock and water rang around	A
Three score of moss troopers and three	L
Have mounted at that bugle sound	A
	-
The Michaelmas moon had enter'd then	E
And ere she wan the full	M
Ye might see by her light in Harden glen	E
A bow o' kye and a bassen'd bull	M
	-
And loud and loud in Harden tower	I
The quaigh gaed round wi' meikle glee	L
For the English beef was brought in bower	I
And the English ale flow'd merrilie	L
	-
And mony a guest from Teviotside	A
And Yarrow's Braes was there	N
Was never a lord in Scotland wide	A
That made more dainty fare	N
	-
They ate they laugh'd they sang and quaff'd	A
Till nought on board was seen	O
When knight and squire were boune to dine	P
But a spur of silver sheen	O
	-
Lord William has ta'en his berry brown steed	A
A sore shent man was he	L
'Wait he my guests a little speed	A
Weel feasted ye shall be '	-
	-
He rode him down by Falsehope burn	Q
His cousin dear to see	L
With him to take a riding turn	Q
Wat draw the sword was he	L
	-
And when he came to Falsehope glen	E
Beneath the trysting tree	L
On the smooth green was carved plain	R
'To Lochwood bound are we '	-
	-
'O if they be gane to dark Lochwood	A
To drive the Warden's gear	S
Betwixt our names I ween there's feud	A
I'll go and have my share	N
	-
'For little reck I for Johnstone's feud	A
The Warden though he be '	-
So Lord William is away to dark Lochwood	A
With riders barely three	L
	-
The Warden's daughters in Lochwood sate	A
Were all both fair and gay	T
All save the Lady Margaret	A
And she was wan and wae	D
	-
The sister Jean had a full fair skin	U
And Grace was bauld and braw	L
But the leal fast heart her breast within	U
It weel was worth them a'	V
	-
Her father's pranked her sisters twa	D
With meikle joy and pride	A
But Margaret maun seek Dundrennan's wa'	D
She ne'er can be a bride	A
	-
On spear and casque by gallants gent	A
Her sisters' scarfs were borne	W
But never at tilt or tournament	A
Were Margaret's colours worn	W
	-
Her sisters rode to Thirlstane bower	L
But she was left at hame	X
To wander round the gloomy tower	L
And sigh young Harden's name	X
	-
'Of all the knights the knight most fair	L
From Yarrow to the Tyne '	-
Soft sigh'd the maid 'is Harden's heir	L
But ne'er can he be mine	P
	-
'Of all the maids the foulest maid	A
From Teviot to the Dee	L
Ah ' sighing sad that lady said	A
'Can ne'er young Harden's be '	-
	-
She looked up the briery glen	E
And up the mossy brae	L
And she saw a score of her father's men	E
Yclad in the Johnstone grey	L
	-
O fast and fast they downwards sped	A
The moss and briers among	Y
And in the midst the troopers led	A
A shackled knight along	Z
