| It fell on a day, a bonnie, bonnie day
|
| When the corn grew green and yellow
|
| That there fell out a great dispute
|
| Between Argyll and Airlie
|
| Argyll, he’s raised up five hundred men
|
| Five hundred men and many
|
| He’s led 'em down to the bonnie Dunkell
|
| Made them shoot the bonnie house of Airlie
|
| A Lady was looking over the castle walls
|
| And oh, but she looks weary
|
| And there she spied the great Argyll
|
| Come to plunder the bonnie house of Airlie
|
| «Come down the stairs, Lady» he said
|
| «Come down and kiss me fairly»
|
| «I'll not come down nor kiss you» she said
|
| «Though you won’t leave a standing stone at Airlie»
|
| I have but one favour to ask of thee Argyll
|
| And, I hope, that you will grant me fairly
|
| Oh, take me down to some dark, dowry town
|
| Where I can’t see the plundering of Airlie
|
| He’s taken her by her left shoulder
|
| And oh, but she looks weary
|
| He’s led her up to the top of the town
|
| Made her watch the plundering of Airlie
|
| Oh, fire on, fire on my many men all
|
| And see that you fire clearly
|
| Oh, I vow and I swear by this broad sword I wear
|
| I won’t leave a standing stone at Airlie
|
| If the great Sir John had been but at home
|
| As he is this night wi' Prince Charlie
|
| Neither Argyll nor any Scottish Lord
|
| Dare have plundered the bonnie house of Airlie
|
| Seven, seven son’s I’ve born unto him
|
| And the eight ne’er saw his daddy
|
| If I were to bear a hundred more
|
| They’d all draw sword for Prince Charlie
|
| Oh, if I were to bear a hundred more
|
| They’d all draw sword for Prince Charlie |
