HArd Fate that I should banisht be And Rebell ealled with Scorn, For serving of a Lovely Prince, As e'er yet was Born, O the Broom the Bonny Broom The Broom of Cowding knows, I wish his Frinds had Stayed at home Milking there Dadys Ewes. My trustie Targe and good Claymore Must now ly useless by; My Pleding Trows that heretofore I wore so Cheerfully. O the Broom, etc. Aduie old Albain I say, Farewell all pleasures there, Till I come back to my own Land, which I hope to see once more O the Braom etc. Most cheerfully he did come or'e Sent Taklings to the North, But Judas like he was betray'd By Huntly, not Seaforth, O the Broom' etc. O! Wretched Huntly vail thy Face, Thy K--g and Countrys gone, And many Valiant Scot thou hast By Treachery undone. O the Broom, etc.
But since the French doth take our part my fears Dispelled be I hope few months will endour smart And we our Friends shall see O! the Broom. etc. The Noble Sweed our Friend appears The Christian King also, The King of Spain Britan not fears That he will them o're thro O the Broom, etc. O blessed LORD let King George ring Let Scotland happy be, And I shall not my Fate bemoan, What ever happen's me, O! the Broom, etc. Well meet our Friends with Noble Heart, Attired with Armour clear Who him opose shall feel our Darts, Like Old Scot Men of Weir, O the Broom, etc. Then happay Days and Pace well have Content in every place, Ashamed all the Rouges shall be, And Honest Men shall have Place O the Broom, the bonny Broom The Broom af Cowden-Knows, I wish his Friends had stayed at home a Milking of the Ewes.
