". 0 hald your tongue, my father dear, Of your prideful talking let me be!
Ye might hae drunken your wine in peace,
And let me and my billie be. iso
" Gae dig a grave, baith wide and deep, And a grave to hald baith him and me ;
But lay Christie Grseme on the sunny side, For I'm sure he wan the victorie."
" Alack ! a wae ! " auld Bewick cried, 15i
" Alack ! was I not much to blame ?
I'm sure Fve lost the liveliest lad That e'er was born unto my name."
" Alack ! a wae !" quo' gude Lord Graeme, " I'm sure I hae lost the deeper lack ! ieo
I durst hae ridden the Border through, Had Christie Grseme been at my back.
" Had I been led through Liddesdale,
And thirty horsemen guarding me, And Christie Graeme been at my back, iss
Sae soon as he had set me free !
" I've lost my hopes, I've lost my joy, I've lost the key but and the lock ;
I durst hae ridden the world round,
Had Christie Graeme been at my back." wo |
