( 3 ) It was at Oldrain that I was ta'en

A prioner for Lady Jean;

In etters trong then 1 was bound

And carried into Aberdeen.

It’s not their frowns that I do mind,

Nor yet the way that I’ve to go

But love has pierc’d my tender heart,

And brought my body very low.

I was embarked at the hore;

Never to fee my nation more;

In Germany a oldier for to be,

All for the las of Banaphie,

But when I was upon the ea,

I ne'er could take a moments eae,

For he was daily in my mind,

That bonny las I left behind.

When I arriv’d in that foreign land,

From my true love a letter came,

With her repect in each degree,

Sign'd by the las of Banaphie.

The Anwer which to her ent,

It never to my true love went;
