Lock The Door Lariston |
Lock the door Lariston |
Lion O' Liddesdale |
Lock the door Lariston |
Lowther comes on |
The Armstrongs are flyin' |
The widows are cryin' |
Castletown is burnin' and Oliver is gone |
Lock the door Lariston |
High on the weather gleams |
See how the Saxon plumes |
They bon on the sky |
Yeoman and carbinere (cavalryman and rifleman) |
Billman and halberdiere (axeman and spearman) |
Fierce is the battle and far is the cry |
Bewcastle brandishes his broad scimitar |
Ridley is riding his fleet-footed grey |
Hidley and Howard there |
Wandel O' Windermere |
Lock the door Lariston |
Hold them at bay |
Why dae ye smile noble Elliot O’Lariston (do you) |
Why does the joy candle gleem in your eye? |
You hold border ranger |
Beware o' your danger |
Your foes are relentless |
Determined and nigh |
I hae Mangerton and Ogilvie (have) |
Raeburn and Netherby |
Old Sym O’Whitram and a' his array (all) |
Come all NorthumberlandTeesdale and Cumberland |
Here at the Brechin Tower |
End the affray |
See how they wane the proud file 'o the Windermere (decrease) |
Howard a woe tae yer hopes o' the day (to your hopes of) |
Hear the rude welkin' rend (sky torn) |
While the Scots' shouts ascend |
Elliot O’Lasriston! |
Elliot for aye! |
(always/ever) |
