1. Ye Heilands and ye Lawlands,

They hae slain the Earl O' Murray,
and laid him on the green.

And wherefore did ye sae?
I bade ye bring him wi' you 
but forebade ye him tae slay".

4. He was a braw callant
and he played at the Ba'.
And the Bonny Earl o' Murray

5. He was a braw gallant 
and he played at the glove.
And the Bonny Earl O' Murray,
O' he was the Queen's great love.

6. Lang may his Ladye
look frae the castle doon.

come soondin' through the Toon.
