The Book of Scottish Song/Bonnie George Campbell

Bonnie George Campbell.

[Recovered from tradition by John Finlay, author of "Wallace." Arranged from the old air by R. A. Smith.]

High upon Hielands, and laigh upon Tay,
Bonnie George Campbell rode out on a day;
Saddled, and bridled, and booted rode he,
Toom hame came the saddle, but never came he.

Down came his auld mither greeting fu' sair,
And out came his bonnie wife wringing her hair,
"My meadow lies green, and my corn is unshorn.
My barn is to build, and my babie's unborn."
