THE
BATTLE OF SHERIFFMUIR.
There's ſome ſay that we wan,
Some ſay that they wan;
Some ſay that nane wan at a' manː
But one thing I'm ſure,
"That on Sheriffmuir
A battle was there, which I ſaw, manː
And we ran, and they ran;
And they ran, and we ran:
And we ran, and they ran awa', man.
Brave Argyle and Belhaven;
Not frighted like L—n,
Which Rothes and Haddington fa, manː
For they all with Wightman,
Advanc'd on the right, man,
While others took fright, being raw, manː
And we ran, &c.
Lord Roxburgh was there,
In order to ſhare
With Douglaſs, who ſtood not in aw, manː
Volunteerly to ramble,
With Lord Loudon Campbell
Brave Iſlay did ſuffer for a', manː
And we ran, &c.
