ALLAN TINE O' HARROW
I am a daring highwayman,
My name is Tine O' Harrow
I'm come of poor but honest folks,
nigh to the hills of Yarrow.
For getting of a maid with child,
for England I sail'd over,
Leaving my parents almost wild
since I became a Rover.
Then straight to London I did go,
where I became a soldier,
Resolved to fight Britania's foes,
great Hector ne'er was bolder.
They sent me to a foreign court,
where cannons loud did rattle,
Believe me boys I do not boast,
how I behaved in battle
For many's the battle I've been in
in Holland and French Flanders,
I always fought with a courage keen,
led on by brave commanders.
