Bonny House of Airlie - Jon Boden
It fell on a day and a bright summer's day
When the corn grew green and yellow
There fell out a great dispute
Between Argyll and Airlie
The Duke of Montrose he has written to Argyll
To come in the morning so early
And to lead his men by the back of Dunkeld
And to plunder the bonnie house of Airlie
The lady looked out of the window so high
And oh and she looked weary
For there she spied the great Argyll
Come to plunder the bonnie house of Airlie
Come down come down Lady Margaret
He said
Come down and kiss me fairly
Or by the morning's clear daylight
I will not leave a standing stone in Airlie
Oh I would not kiss thee great Argyll
And I would not kiss the fairly
I would not kiss thee great Argyll
Though you didn't leave a standing stone in Airlie
He has taken her by her left shoulder
He says
Madam where is your dowry
Well it's up and it's down the bonny burnside
All among the planting of Airlie
Oh they searched east and they searched west
And they searched late and early
They found it in the bonny burnside
All among the planting of Airlie
He has taken her by the middle so small
And oh and she cried sorely
And he has laid her down on the green green grass
And he has plundered the bonny house of Airlie
Oh I have eleven broad sons she cried
And the youngest has never seen his daddy
But if I had this many more
I would give them all to King Charlie
And if my good lord he had been at home
And not been with King Charlie
Well there's never a Campbell from out of the west
Could plunder the bonny house of Airlie
