BETRAYED me how can this be? When by Day-light upon a Day; I met Prince Charles our Royal King, And all the Grahams in their Array. They were all dressd in Armour keen, Upon the pleasant Banks of Tay: Before a King they might be seen, Those gallant Grahams in their Array. I have no Gold, I have no Land, Nor have I Pearl nor precious Stones; But I would sell my silken Snood, To see these Grahams but well come home To speak of these Grahams, I think it best, Theyre Men amongst good Company; Into the Lands where we did walk, Theyre Lords into the South Country.
They wan the Praise in Wallaces Days, For the Summer Flowers did never spring; But the gallant Grahams in Armour clear Did then appear before the King. At the Goukhead we set our Camp, Our Rigour down there for to stay, Upon a dainty Summers Day, We rode our white Horse and our Grey. For they were then in Armour seen, As Gold shines on a Summers Day, The gallant Grahams were assembled there, Before King Charles, his Majesty. Ill crown them Night, Ill crown them Day. And above great Lords of high Degree, For all the Lords that I have seen. The Grahams are the bravest Company.
As I came by the Bunches Park, I heard my true Loves Sisters Son; We loosd our Cannon on every Side, Even for the Honour of our King. Our false Commander has betrayd our King And sold him to his Enemy, By a Nobleman, to Cromwel then, So I care not what they do with me. For he strives to subdue the Land, And over England to be King, Fair Scotland by him to be governd, And over the Nations for to reign. They have betrayd our Noble Prince, And banished him from his Royal Crown; But the gallant Grahams have taen in Hand, For to command that Traytor Lown. Now Dalgitie was stout and bold, Couragious in high Degree; At the Cavaliers they were all sold, And young Harthil, a Cavalier too. Nathaniel Gordon, both stout and keen, Newton Gordon, Burd alone; Upon the Green he might be seen; For a bolder Face was never known. A Braver Man was never seen, Neither in Kent or Christendom: To fight now for his Royal King, Lord give his Enemies their Doom. At Bogle baugh, where we did advance, Our Parliament there for to stay, But our Nobles they were banishd off, At Goln-Yle where we advance. Glemproson, where we randezvousd To Glenshie we marchd both night and Day, And of Bredainlie we took the Town, And met the Campbelis in their Deray. Ten Thousand Men in Armour strong, Did meet the gallant Grahams to play, At Inverlochie where they began, And about two thousand Men were they. And tho their Number did far exceed, The gallant Grahams upon that Day, Yet their Hearts were true, they did not fear, To meet the Campbells in their Deray. For the Gordons then did give a while, To face the Campbells upon that Day; Who from their Friends fell far aback, Unto their Enemies for ever and ay. Gallant Montrose, then that Chiefton bold, Couragious in high Degree: Did for the King fight valiantly, The Lord preserve his Majesty. Now fare you well, you Innerdale., Lord Keeth, and Kindred I bid adieu; And I shall away and I shall not stay, To some uncouth Land that I never knew.
To wear the Blue I think it best, By any Colonel that I see; heer up your Hearts, brave Cavaliers, For the the Grahams are gone to Germany. To France and Flanders, where they advancd, And Germany, who gave Fame: For my Lord Albion is to the Sea, Young Huntly is his noble Name. He went to France for his Royal King, King Charles then, and above Degree Ill give the Honour to the gallant Grahams, For they are a brave Company. Montrose then our Chieftain bold, To Scotland free is come again; For to redeem fair Scotlands Land, The pleasant, gallant, worthy Grahams. At the Water of Ensdale they did begin, And fought a Battle to an End; Where there were killd for our Noble King, Two thousand of our Donish Men. Gilbert Menzies, and of high Degree, The Kings Baron bold was born, For a brave Cavalier was he, But now into Glory hes gone. The Kings Banner in Hand he bore, For he was a brave valiant Man; Betrayed was he a Night before, By Colonel Hacket and Strachen then. To the Colonel Hacket now, And Strachen ill Death may thou die, For ye have betrayd our gallant Grahams Who were true to his Majesty. The Laird of Ashen has catchd Montrose And had him into Edinburgh Town; And from his Body taen his Head, And quarterd him upon a Trone. Now Huntleys gone that same Way, Prince Charles also our Royal King, Hath sufferd Death for our Nation, Our mourning Tears can neer be done. Our gallant young King is now come Home, Prince Charles the Second, and above Degree The Lord send Peace in his Time And God preserve his Majesty. Now fare you well you Innerdale, Kith and Kin that you may well ken; For I will sell my silken Snood, To the gallant Grahams came Home. Since Wallaces Days that we began, Sir John the Graham did bear the Green; For the Honour of our Royal King, The Lord preserve his Majesty. For all the Lords in fair Scotland, From the highest to the lowest Degree The noble Grahams are to be praisd, So God preserve Charles his Majesty.
