It fell on a day, a
bonny summer day,
When the corn was ripe
and yellow,
That there fell oot a
great dispute
Between Argyle aye and
Airlie.
Lady Margaret looked
o’er yon high castle
wall,
And O but she sighed
sairly.
She saw Argyle and a’
his men
Come to plunder the
bonny hoose o’ Airlie.
“Come doun, come doun
Lady Margaret,” he said.
“Come doun and kiss me
fairly
Or gin the morning’s
clear daylight
I willna leave a
standing stane in
Airlie.”
“I’ll no come doun, ye
false Argyll,
Nor will I kiss thee
fairly.
I wouldnae kiss the
false Argyle
Though you wouldna leave
a standin’ stane in
Airlie.” |
