 By the King's orders we were all taken,

And to Germany we were all sent, my dear,

And to Germany we were all sent.

So farewell bonny Stirling town,

And the maids therein also;

And farewell bonny Mally Stewart,

You're the cause of all my wo, my dear,

You're the cause of all my wo.

She took the slippers off her feet,

And the cockups off her hair ;

And she has ta'en a long journey,

For seven lang years and mair, my dear,

For seven lang years and mair.

Sometimes she rade sometimes she gaed,

Sometimes sat down to mourn,

And it was aye the o'ercome of her tale,

Shall I e'er see my bonny laddie come,

Shall I e'er see my bonny laddie come.

The trooper turned himself round about,

All on the Irish shore;

He has gi'en the bridal reins a shake,

Saying adieu for evermore, my dear,

Saying adieu for evermore. 



These lines from your lover, dear Jenny receive,

At Carlisle confined, will make you to grieve,

I prisoner was taken on Culloden plain,

I wish in the battle I there had been slain.
