For I maun na[53] ride, and I daur na[54] walk,

And we'll neer gae down to the brume nae mair."

"But set me doun be the rute o' this tree,

Brume blumes bonnie and grows sae fair,

For there ha'e I dreamt that my bed sall be."

And we'll neer gae down to the brume nae mair.

The ae king's daughter did lift doun the ither,

Brume blumes bonnie and grows sae fair,

She was licht in her armis like ony fether.

And we'll neer gae down to the brume nae mair.

Bonnie Lady Ann sat doun be the tree,

Brume blumes bonnie and grows sae fair,

And a wide grave was houkit[55] whare nane suld be.

And we'll neer gae down to the brume nae mair.

The hawk had nae lure, and the horse had nae master,

Brume blumes bonnie and grows sae fair,

And the faithless hounds thro' the woods ran faster.

And we'll neer gae down to the brume nae mair.

The one king's daughter has ridden awa',

Brume blumes bonnie and grows sae fair,

But bonnie Lady Ann lay in the deed-thraw.[56]

And we'll neer gae down to the brume nae mair.
