BLUE BONNETS OVER THE BORDER^
SIR WALTER SCOTT.
Tune — Blue Bonnets over the Border.
March, march, Ettrick and Teviotdale,
Why, my lads, dinna ye march forward in order ?
March, march, Eskdale and Liddesdale ;
All the hlue bonnets are over the Border.
Many a banner spread flutters above your head ;
Many a crest that is famous in story :
Mount and make ready, then, sons of the mountain glen ;
Fight for your Queen and the old Scottish glory.
Come from the hills where your hirsels are grazing;
Come from the glen of the buck and the roe ;
Come to the crag where the beacon is blazing ;
Come with the buckler, the lance, and the bow.
Trumpets are sounding, war steeds are bounding ;
Stand to your arms, and march in good order.
England shall many a day tell of the bloody fray,
When the blue bonnets came over the Border.
COMIN' THROUGH THE RYE.
Tune. — Gin a Body meet a Body.
Gin a body meet a body
Comin' through the rye,
Gin a body kiss a body,
Need a body cry ?
Ev'ry lassie has her laddie,
Nane, they say, hae 1 1
