sons of the moun - tain glen, Fight tor your Queen and the old Scot-tish glo - ry.
Come from the hills were 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.
" March, march, Ettrick and Teviotdale." These verses appeared for the first time in Sir Walter Scott's novel,
" The Monastery," published in 1820. They were evidently modelled upon an old Cavalier song, beginning, " March !
march ! pinks of election," which we find in the first volume of James Hogg's "Jacobite Relics of Scotland," pp. 5-7.
The air given by Hogg to these old verses is a bad set of " Lesley's March," not at all corresponding with the air in
Oswald's Second Collection, p. 33, although Hogg erroneously says that it " is copied from Mr. Oswald's ancient
Scottish music." In Niel Gow's Second Collection of Reels, p. 5, we find an altered version of " Lesley's March," under
the name of " Duplin House ;" and from this the later versions of the air seem to have been taken with some changes.
The version given by R. A. Smith to Sir Walter Scott's words is the one we have adopted as being the better known
and more popular. Smith calls the air " Blue Bonnets," but it differs entirely from the air of that name, in common
time, given by Oswald in his Second Collection, p. 5. We subjoin " Lesley's March" according to Oswald.
