Oh, Ghave you heard Sir James the Rose
The Dyoung heir of Loch Laggan
For Amhe has killed a Emgallant squire

Then he Gturned him right and round about
And Drolled him in the bracken
And Amhe has gone to Emtake a sleep
In the Clowlands of Loch DLaggan

Nor Dwas he past Milstrethen
When Amfour-and-twenty Embelted knights
Came Criding o'er the Dleathen

Then Gup and spake Sir John the Graeme
Who Dhad the charge a-keeping
"It'll Amnever be said, dear Emgentleman
We Ckilled him while he's Dsleeping"

And Dclosely him surrounded
And Amwhen he woke out Emof his sleep
His Csenses were conDfounded
[Verse]
Now Gthey have taken Cout his Gheart
And Gstuck it on a spear
They Ctook it Gto the CHouse of Marr
And Ggave it Dto his Gdear

"CWhere shall I Ggo? CWhere shall I Grun?
CWhere shall I Ggo for to Dhide me?
CFor GI have Dkilled a Ggallant CsquiAmre
And they're Gseeking Dfor to Cslay G/Bme" Am G
