Bonnie George Campbell_________ By an unknown poet

Bonnie George Campbell

High upon highlands,

  And low upon Tay,

Bonnie George Campbell

  Rode out on a day;

Saddled and bridled,

  And gallant to see:

Home came his good horse,

  But home came not he.

Out ran his old mother,

  Wild with despair;                                                    

Out ran his bonnie bride,

  Tearing her hair.

He rode saddled and bridled,

  With boot to the knee

Home came his good horse,

  But never came he.

"My meadow lies green,

   And his corn is unshron,

My barn is unbuilt,

   And my babe is unborn."

He rode saddled and bridled,

   Careless and free:

Safe home came the saddle,

   But never came he.
