CWord is to the Fkitchen Cgone, and word is to the G7hall,
And Fword is G7up to MCadam the QAmueen
And Cthat is the G7worst of aCll.
That FMary G7Hamilton has Cborne a Ambabe, to the Chighest G7Stuart of Call.
&Cquot;Arise, arise FMary CHamilton, arise and telG7l to me,
What Fthou hast G7done with Cthy wee Ambabe I Csaw and heard G7weep by Cthee'"
&Cquot;I put him Fin a Ctiny boat, and cast him ouG7t to sea,
That Fhe might G7sink or Che might Amswim, but he'd Cnever come G7back to Cme."
&Cquot;Arise, arise FMary CHamilton, arise and come G7with me;
There Fis a G7wedding in CGlasgow Amtown, this Cnight we'll G7go and Csee."
CShe put not on her Frobes of Cblack, nor her robes ofG7 brown.
But Fshe put G7on her Crobes of Amwhite, to Cride into G7Glasgow Ctown.
CAnd as she rode into FGlasgow Ctown the city for to G7see,
The Fbailiff's G7wife and the Cprovost's Amwife cried &Cquot;achG7 and alasC for thee."
C"Ah you need not weepF for me,&Cquot; she cried,"you neeG7d not weep for me.
For had FI not G7slain my Cown wee Ambabe this Cnight I G7would not Cdie."
CAh little did my Fmother Cthink when first she cradled G7me,
The Flands I G7was to Ctravel Amin and the Cdeath I G7was to Cdie."
CLast night I washed the FQueen's Cfeet and put the gold in her G7hair,
And the Fonly G7reward I Cfind for Amthis is the Cgallows to G7be my Cshare."
C"Cast off, cast ofFf my gown,&Cquot; she cried,"but leG7t my petticoat be,
And Ftie a G7napkin 'Cround my Amface; the Cgallows I G7would not Csee."
CThen by and come the FKing himCself, looked up with a pitiful G7eye,
"FCome down, G7come down CMary AmHamiltoCn, tonight, you G7will dine Cwith me."
&Cquot;Ah hold your tongueF, my soverCeign liege, and let your fG7olly be;
For if Fyou'd a G7mind to Csave my Amlife, you'd Cnever have G7shamed me Chere.
CLast night there were four FMarCys, tonight there'll be but G7three.
There was FMary G7Beaton and CMary AmSeaton and CMary CarG7michael and Cme."
