ALLAN TINE O' HARROW

I am a daring highwayman,My name is Tine O' HarrowI'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 wildsince 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 inin Holland and French Flanders,I always fought with a courage keen,led on by brave commanders.
