I will do more for my true love
than he will do for me
I’ll cut my hair and roll me bare,
and mourn till the day I die.
and mourn till the day I die.

So farewell my mother and father dear,
I’ll bid adieu and farewell
My sweet and bonny Mally Stewart;
you're the cause of all my wo, my dear,
you’re the cause of all my wo.

When we came to bonny Stirling town,
as we lay all in camp,
By the king's orders we were all taken,
& to Germany we were all sent, my dear,
and to Germany we were all sent.

So farewell bonny Stirling town,
and the maids therein also;
And farewell bonny Mally Stewart.
you're the cause of all my wo, my dear,
you're the cause of all my wo.

She took the slippers off her feet,
and the cockup off her hair;
