 He has ta’en her by the middle ſo ſmall, ſays, Lady, where is your drury; It is up and down the bonny burn-ſide, among the plantings of Airley.

They ſought it up, they ſought it down, they ſought it late and early, And found it in the bonny balm-tree, that ſhines on the bowling-green of Airley.

He has ta’en her by the left ſhoulder, and O but ſhe weep’d ſarely, And led her down to the green bank, till he plunder’d the bonny louſe of Airley.

O if my good Lord was at home, as this night he is wi’ Charlie, Great Argyle and all his men, durſt not plunder the bonny houſe of Airley.

’Tis ten bonny ſons I have born, and th’ eleventh ne’er ſaw his daddie; And if I had a hundred more, I would give them all to Charlie.
