And here's to the soldier wha bled, To the sailor wha bravely did fa' ; Their fame is alive tho' their spirits are fled On the wings of the year that's awa. Their fame is alive, &c. And here's to the friend we can trust. When the storms of adversity blaw ; May he join in our song, and lie nearest our heart, Nor depart like the year that's awa. May he join in, &c. BLUE BONNETS OVER THE BORDER March, march, Ettrick and Tivotdale : Why, my lads, dinna ye march forward in order ? March, march, Eskdale and Liddesdale ; All the blue bonnets are over the border, �3 Many a banner spread, Flutters above your head, Many a crest that is famous in story ; Mount and make ready then, Sons of the mountain glen, [glory. Fight for your Queen and your old Scotish Come from the hills where your hirsels are grazing ; Come from the glen of the buck and the roe ; Come to the craig where the beacon is blazing ; Come with the buckler the lance and the bow. Trumpets are sounding, War-steeds are bounding;--[order, Stand to your arms and march in good orEngland shall many a day Tell of the bloody fray, When the blue bonnets came over the border. T H E LAIRD O' COCKPEN. The Laird o' Cockpen he's proud and he's great ; His mind is taen up wi' things o' the state. �4 He wanted a wife his braw house to keep, But favour wi wooin' was fashous to seek. Doun by the dyke-side a lady did dwell, At his table-head he thought she'd look well M'Clish's ae dochter o' Claverseha Lee, A pennyless lass, wi a lang pedigree. His wig was weel pouthered, as guid as when new, His waistcoat was white, his coat It was blue, He put on a ring, a sword and cocked hat, And wha could refuse the Laird wi a that? He took the gray mare and rade cannily ; An' rapped at the yett o' Claverseha Lee, " G a e tell Mistress Jean to come speedly ben ; She's wanted to speak to the Laird o' Cockpen." Mistress Jean was makin' the elder-flower wine— "An' what brings the Laird at sic a like time ?" She pat aff her apron an' on her silk gown, Her mutch wi' red ribbons an' gaed awa down. �5 An' when she came ben he boued fu' low ; An' what was his errand he soon let her know. Amazed was the Laird, when the lady said—"Na !" An' wi a laigh courtly she turned awa. Dumfundered he was—but nae sigh did he gie ; He mounted his mare and rade cannily : An' aften he thocht as he gaed through the glen, "She's daft to refuse the Laird o' Cockpen." Near to the house amang the lang trees, There did he meet sweet Jeanie Greenlees. She sits at his table like a white tappet hen. — Thus ended the courtships o' the Laird o' Cockpen. JOCK O' HAZELDEAN. "Whyweep ye by the tide lady ? Why weep ye by the tide ? I'll wed ye to my youngest son, And ye sall be his bride. �6 And ye sall be his bride, lady, Sae comely to be seen:" — But aye she loot the tears down fa' For Jock o' Hazeldean. "Now let this wilful grief be done, And dry that cheek so pale ; Young Frank is chief of Errington, And Lord of Langley dale. His step is first in peaceful ha', His sword in battle keen:" — But aye she loot the tears down fa' For Jock o' Hazeldean. "A chain of gold ye sall not lack, Nor braid to bind your hair, Nor mettled hound, nor managed hawk, Nor palfrey fresh and fair. And you the foremost o' them a' Shall ride our forest queen:"--But aye she loot the tears down fa' For Jock o' Hazeldean. The kirk was decked at morning tide The tapers glimmered fair— The priest and bridegroom wait the bride, And dame and knight are there. They sought her both by bower and ha'-— The lady was not seen :— She's o'er the border and awa Wi' Jock o' Hazeldean. �7 PITY AND PROTECT THE SLAVE Sons of freedom ! hear my story, Mercy well becomes the brave, Humanity is Britain's glory — Pity and protect the slave ! Free-born daughters ! who possessing Eyes that conquer, hearts that save, Greet me with a sister's blessing— Oh ! pity and protect the slave ! HURRAH FOR THE BONNETS OF BLUE. Here's a health to them that's awa, Here's a health to them that's awa, And wha winna wish guid luck to our cause, May never guid luck be their fa'. It's guid to be merry and wise, It's guid to be honest and true, It's guid to support Caledonia's cause, And bide by the bonnets of blue. Hurrah for the bonnets of blue, Hurrah for the bonnets of blue. It's guid to support Caledonia's cause, And bide by the bonnets of blue. �8 Here's a health to them that's awa, Here's a health to them that's awa, Here's a health to Charlie the chief o' the clan, Although that his band be sae sma'. Here's freedom to them that would read, Here's freedom to them that would write, There's nane ever fear'd that the truth should be heard, But they whom the truth wad indite. Hurrah for the bonnets of blue, Hurrah for the bonnets of blue, It's guid to be wise, to be honest and true, And bide by the bonnets of blue. HERE'S A HEALTH TO ALL GOOD LASSES. A Glee Heres' a health to all good lasses, Pledge it merrily fill your glasses, Let a bumper toast go round ! May they lead a life of pleasure, Without mixture, without measure, For with them true joys are found. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Royal Charlie. John Anderson my Jo. Whistle and I'll Come to you my Lad. Love and Glory. Nobody Coming to Marry me. NEWTON-STEWART : Printed and SoLd, Wholesale and Retail, by J. M'NAIRN. �R O Y A L CHARLIE. The wind comes frae the land I love, It moves the flood fu' rarely; Look for the lily on the lea, And look for royal Charlie. Ten thousand swords shall leave their And smite fa' sharp and sairly, [sheaths And Gordon's might and Erskine's pride, Shall live and die wi' Charlie. The sun shines out—wide smiles the s e a , The lily blossoms rarely; ; O yonder comes his gallant ship, Thrice welcome, royal Charlie ! "Yes,yon's a good and gallant ship, Wi' banners flaunting fairly ; But should it meet your darling, prince, 'Twill feast the fish wi' Charlie. Wide rustled site wi' silks in state, And waved her white hand proudlie, And drew a bright sword from the sheath, And answered high and loudlie. �3 " I had three sons, and a good lord, Wha sold their lives fu' dearlie ; And wi' their dust I'd mingle mine, For love of gallant Charlie. It wad hae made a hale heart sair, T o see our horsemen flying ; And my three bairns, and my good lord, Amang the dead and dying : " I snatched a banner—led them back— The white rose flourish'd rarely : The deed I did for royal James I'd do again for Charlie. JOHN ANDERSON, M Y John Anderson my jo, John, Ye were my first conceit, I think nae shame to say, John, I loe'd ye ear and late ; JO. �4 They say you're turning auld, John, And what though it be so ? Ye are ay the same kind man to me, John Anderson my jo. John Anderson my Jo, John, When we were first acquent, Your locks were like the raven, Your bonny brow was brent ; But now ye're turned bald, John, Your locks are like the snow ; My blessings on that frosty pow, John Anderson my jo. John Anderson my jo, John, We've seen our bairn's bairns, And yet my dear John Anderson, I'm happy In your arms ; And sae are ye in mine, John, I'm sure ye'll no say no, Tho' the days are past that we hae seen, John Anderson my jo. �5 John Anderson my jo, John, We clamb the hill thegither, And mony a canty day, John, We've had wi' ane anither ; Now we maun totter down, John, But hand in hand we'll go, And sleep thegither at the foot, John Anderson my jo. WHISTLE, AND I'LL COME TO YOU, MY LAD. O whistle, and I'll come to you my lad; O whistle, and I'll come to you, my lad: Tho' father and mither and a' should gae mad, O whistle, and I'll come to you, my lad. But warily tent when ye come to court me, And come nae unless the back-yet he a-jee; Syne up the hack style, and let naebody see And come as ye war na comin' to me. And COME, & c . �6 At kirk or at market, whene'er ye meet me Gang by me as though that ye cared na a flie, But steal me a blink o' your bonny black e'e, Yot look as ye war, na lookin at me. Yet look, &c. Ay vow and protest that ye carena for me, And whiles ye may lightly my beauty a wee; But court na anither, though jokin ye be, For fear that she wyle your fancy frae me. For fear, &c. L O V E AND GLORY. Young Henry was as brave a youth As ever graced a martial story : And Jane was fair as lovely truth— She sighed for love, and he for glory. With her his faith he meant to plight, And told her many a gallant story; �7 Till war, their honest joys to blight; Called him away from love to glory. Brave Henry met the foe with pride ; Jane followed, fought—ah! hapless story! In man's attire by Henry's side, She died for love, and he for glory. NOBODY COMING T O M A R R Y ME. Last night the dogs did barky, I went to the gate to see : When every lass had a spark, But nobody comes to me. And it's oh dear! what will become of me Oh dear ! what will I do ? Nobody coming to marry me, Nobody coming to woo. My father' s a hedger and ditcher, My mother does nothing but spin, �8 And I'm a pretty young girl, But the money comes slowly in. They say I'm beauteous and fair, They say I'm scornful and cold ; Alas ! i must now despair, For ah ! I am grown very old. And now I must die an old maid, Oh dear! how shocking the thought! And all my beauty must fade, But I'm sure it is not my fault.

The Two Emigrants. The Lea rig. Irish hafts for English Blades, NEWTON-STEWART: Printed and Sold, Wholesale and Retail, by J. M'Nairn. �D A F T JAMIE. O ! dark was the midnight when H Not a star in the sky gave him one cheering ray, But Still now and then, would the blue lightnings glare, And some strange cries assail'd him, like shrieks of despair Over vale, over hill, I will watch thee for ill, I But l o ! as the savage run down the wild glen, For no place did he fear like the dwellings of men, Where the heath lay before him all dismal and bare, The ghost of Daft Jamie appeared to him there. Over vale, &c. I am come, said the shade, from the land of the dead, Though there is for Jamie no grass cover'd bed, Yet I'm come to remind you of deeds that are past, And to tell you that justice will find you at last. Over vale, &c. O ! Hare, thou hast been a dark demon o f blood, But vengeance shall chace thee o'er field and o'er flood, Though you fly far away from the dewllings of men, The shades of thy victims shall rise in thy den. Over vale, &c. When night falls on the world, O ! how can you sleep, In your dreams do you ne'er see my poor mother weep ? Sadly she wept, but O ! long shall she mourn, E'er poor wandering Jamie from the grave shall return. Over vale, &c. will haunt all thy wanderings and follo �3 From the grave, did I say, and though calm is the bed, Where slumber is dreamless, the home of the dead, Where friends may lament, there sorrow, may he, Yet no grave rises as green as the world for me. Over vale, &c. O ! Harp, go and shelter thy fugitive head, In some land that is not of the living or dead, For the living against thee may justly combine, And the dead must despise such a spirit as thine. Over vale, &c. O ! Hare fly away but this world cannot be The place of abode to a demon like t h e e , There is gall in your heart—poison is in your breath, And the glare of your eyes is as fearful as death. Over vale, &c. Then the blue lightnings flash'd through the glen, and it shone, And there rose a wild cry, and there heaved a deep groan, As the Ghost of the innocent boy disappear'd, But its shreiks down the glen, in the night breeze were heard. Over vale, &c. THE T W O EMIGRANTS, Clyde's bonny banks are a wet wi' the e'ening dew, Sweetly the wee birdies chaunt in the wild wood, �4 Jeanie amang these green fields, by the bonny brew. Calmly ha'e pass'd a' the days o' our childhood. Down to this thorny bow'r aft at the gloamin' hour, Glad ha'e I come frae our cottage to see ye, Now I am gaun awa soon to America, O ! will you let your fond Emigrant leave you ? Follow me, follow me, love wilt thou follow me, Lang ha'e I woo'd thee and lov'd thee sincerely, Come then my lassie braw, come tae America, Fair is our hame, on the banks of Loch E r i e . Blissful and calm shall our days aye unskaithed be, Puirtith shall ne'er mak enjoyment grow weary, Walth shall we ha'e, for a frien' has bequeathed to me, Braw bonny lands on the banks of the Erie. Groves of the maple tree orange and apple tree, Fields o' the sugar cane, grow for my dearie, Trees of the bonny vine rich with the rosy wine, Bloom fur us love, on the banks of Loch Erie. Follow me, &c. O ! e'er the beams o' anither day's setting sun, Redden the tops o' yon blue Highland mountains, Fareweel I maun bid to my country, O ! Caledon, Peace to thy, streams and thy clear siller fountains. Caledon! Caledon ! land of the brave that's gone, Lang on thy fields were thy sons victorious, Country of hill and glen, laid of the brightest men, O! be thou independant and glorious. Follow me, &c. �5 Scotland, clear ! land of my fore-father's fare thee-well, Wallace and Bruce were the sons of thy bravery, Fam'd Bannockburn, and many a red battle-field, Tell that a grave was mair welcome than slavery, Bold as the stormy seas, free as the mountain breeze, Rush'd thy old heros to battle fu' cheery, O ! I shall lo'e thee still, land of the heathy hill, Still shall thy; Emigrant fondly revere thee. Follow me, &c. O ! my dear Jeanie, just say you will come awa, Comewi'your Willie, there's naething to fear ye, Tho' dear to your bosom be your own father's ha', None like your Willie can lo'e ye so dearly, With thee, my sweet treasure, life maun be a pleasure. The toils of this warld will ne'er make me weary, Then O ! leave your native vale, let the Atlantic gale, Waft us awa to the banks o' Loch Erie. Follow me, &c. Jeanie look'd round wi' a sigh on her native land, Bright to her red rosy cheeks came the tear aye, Willie, she says, and she gied him her lillie hand, Tak me awa to the banks o' Loch Erie. Faiens o' my father's ha' though I revere ye a'. Braid though the sea is, and trackless and dreary, Fare ye weel ane and a' friens o' my father's ha', I'll gang wi' Willie awa to Loch Erie. Follow thee, follow thee, lad I will follow thee, Lang hae I lo'ed thee, my Willie sincerely, Gang then, my laddie braw, gang to America, Thy hame shall be my hame, awa at Loch Erie. �6 I R I S H H A F T S FOR E N G L I S H B L A D E S All you who delight in a comical jest, Now I will tell you , one you may add to the rest, Which happened of late near the town of Carlisle, I'm sure when you hear it, it will cause you to smile. The first of last april I cannot forget. When three English blades for pleasure were met, They mounted their horses and swore solemnly, That they, would play trick on the first man they'd see. One Campbell a drover they chanced to spy, He came from Tyrone near a town called Fermoy, They saluted Campbell and he did the same, So in close conversation together they came. They came to an Inn where they made a full stop, And ask'd Paddy in with them for to take a drop, Then Campbell consented, and said with a smile, I would like well to taste your strong ale of Carlisle.' They gave up their horses in charge to the groom, And then stepped into a well-furnish'd room, It being in the morning between eight and nine, They called for a breakfast and after that wine. They sat and they drank, and they sported at will, Until they had twenty-four shillings of a bill, And four of their horses for oats and for hay, But they thought they'd leave Pat the reckoning to pay. So then one by oneoneoutof the door they stole, A n d left Campbell there to pay for the whole, �7 The landlord came inrwith a smile and thus said, I think Pat you're trick'd by the English blades. On the first of April it is always a rule, For the one man to' make the other a fool, When I saw you sitting in their company, I knew these blades would play a trick upon thee. Never mind then says Pat, since they are gone away, I have plenty of money the reckoning to pay, Come sit you down by me before I do go, I will tell you a secret perhaps you don't know. I will show you a trick though contrary to law, How two kinds of drink from one vessel to draw; The landlord being eager to find out this plan, lt's down to the cellar with Paddy he ran. Pat bored a hole in a very short space, And bad the landlord clap his hand on that place. The second he bore, saying place the other there, For I for a tumbler must go up the stair. He went up to the room I will give you to know t, And there he with chalk on the table thus wrote, With two sorts of liquor the reckoning I've paid, That's an Irish haft for your English blades. He mounted his horse and was soon out of sight, The waiter went in to see if all was right, And search'd the house from the top to the ground, Half dead inthecellar his master he found. O, what is the matter, dear master, he said, He says, Irish Paddy a trick on me played, i ' v e both hands engaged, I'm hubbled you see, I thought to fool Pat, but he has out-witted me. �T H E LEA RIG. When o'er-the hill the eastern star, Tells bughtin-time is near, my j o e ; And owsen frae the furrowed field, Return sae dowf and weary O ; Down by the burn, where scented birks Wi' dew are hanging clear, my joe, I'll meet thee on the lea-rig, My ain kind dearie O.
