[ 5 ] And she’s cast aff her high heel’d shoes,

put on a pair of laigh ones,

And she's away with Duncan Graham,

to go amang the brechans :

O my bonny Lizie Bailie,

thy mother cannot want thee;

And if thou go with Duncan Graham,

there’ll be a Killicrankie.

Hold your tongue my mother dear,

with your folly let me be,

Should I not fancy Duncan Graham,

’fore all the men I see.

Who is it that has done this turn ?

or who hath done this deed ?

A minister it’s, father, she says,

lives at the Red Burn-bridge.

A minister, daughter, he says,

a minister for mister;

O hold your tongue my father dear,

he marry’d first my sister.

So fare you well my daughter dear,

so dearly as I love thee ;

Since thou wilt go with Duncan Graham,

thou'lt get no gear from me.

O fare you well my father dear,

also my sister Betty :

O fare you well my mother dear

I leave you all completely.
