And now up spake Sir Robert Bewick
O man, was I not much to blame,
I have lost one of the liveliest lads
That ever was bred unto my name.
With that up spake my good Laird Graham,
O man, I've lost the better block,
I've lost my comfort and my joy,
I've lost my key, I've lost my lock.
Had I gone through all Lauderdale,
And forty horse had set on me,
Had Christy Graham been at my back,
So well he would have guarded me.
I have no more of my song to sing,
But two or three words I will name
It will bo talk'd in Carlislo town,
That these two men were all the blame.
