Testo Bonnie House Of Airlie Kate Rusby
It fell on a day, a bonnie bonnie day
When the corn grew green and yellow
That there fell out a great dispute
Between Argyle and Airlie
The lady was looking over the castle wall
And oh but she looks weary
And there she spies the great Argyle
Come to plunder the bonnie house of Airlie
Come down the stairs lady, he said,
Come down and kiss me fairly
Iâll not come down nor kiss you, she said,
Though you wonât leave a standing stone at Airlie
Heâs taken her by her left shoulder
And oh but she looks weary
He led her up to the top of the town
Made her watch the plundering of Airlie
Fire on fire on my many men all,
And see that you fire clearly
I vow and I swear by the broad sword I wear
I wonât leave a standing stone at Airlie
If the great Sir John had been but at home
As he is this night wiâ Prince Charlie
Neither Argyle nor any Scottish lord
Dare have plundered the bonnie house of Airlie
Seven seven sons Iâve born unto him
And the eighth neâer saw his daddy
If I were to bear a hundred more
Theyâd all draw sword for Prince Charlie
Oh if I were to bear a hundred more
Theyâd all draw sword for Prince Charlie
