 Pretended Mar might

Give over to fight,

To the right of the army awa', man.

And we ran, &c.

There Lowrie, for fear

Of what he might hear,

Took Drummond's beſt horſe, and awa', manː

Inſtead of going to Perth,

He croſſed the Frith,

Alongſt Stirling-bridge, and awa', man.

And we ran, &c.

To London he preſt,

And there he addreſt,

That he behav'd beſt of them a', man;

And there, without ſtrife,

He ſettled for life,

With a hundred a-year to his fa', man.

And we ran, &c.

In Barrowſtounneſs

He reſides with diſgrace,

Till his neck ſtand in need of a draw, man,

And then in a teather

He'll ſwing from a ladder,

A go off the ſtage with a fa', man.

And we ran, &c.
