SHERIFF-MUIR.

There's some say that we wan,
Some say that they wan,
Some say that nane wan at a man:
But one thing I'm sure,
That at Sheriff-muir,
A battle there was, which I saw, man;
And we ran, and they ran, and they ran, and we ran,
and we ran, and they ran awa, man.

Brave Argyle and Belhaven,
Not like frighted L———n,
Which Rothes and Haddington sa, man;
For they all with Wightman
Advanc'd on the right, man,
While others took flight, being raw, man.
And we ran, and they ran, &c.

Lord Roxburgh was there,
In order to share
With Douglas, who stood not in awe, man,
Volunteerly to ramble
With Lord Loudoun Campbell,
Bravo Ilay did suffer for a, man.
And we ran, and they ran, &c.
