  • Mary Hamilton
  • Word is to the kitchen gone, and word is to the Hall
  • And word is up to Madam the Queen, and that's the worst of all
  • That Mary Hamilton has borne a babe
  • To the highest Stuart of all
  • Oh rise, arise Mary Hamilton
  • Arise and tell to me
  • What thou hast done with thy wee babe
  • I saw and heard weep by thee
  • I put him in a tiny boat
  • And cast him out to sea
  • That he might sink or he might swim
  • But he'd never come back to me
  • Oh rise arise Mary Hamilton
  • Arise and come with me

  • This night we'll go and see
  • She put not on her robes of black
  • Nor her robes of brown
  • But she put on her robes of white
  • To ride into Glasgow town
  • And as she rode into Glasgow town
  • The city for to see
  • The bailiff's wife and the provost's wife
  • Cried Alack and alas for thee
  • You need not weep for me she cried
  • You need not week for me
  • For had I not slain my own wee babe
  • This death I would not dee
  • Oh little did my mother think
  • When first she cradled me
  • The lands I was to travel in
  • And the death I was to dee
  • Last night I washed the Queen's feet
  • And put the gold in her hair
  • And the only reward I find for this
  • The gallows to be my share
  • Cast off cast off my gown she cried
  • But let my petticoat be
  • And tie a napkin round my face
  • The gallows I would not see
  • Then by them come the king himself
  • Looked up with a pitiful eye
  • Come down come down Mary Hamillton
  • Tonight you will dine with me
  • Oh hold your tongue my sovereign liege
  • And let your folly be
  • For if you'd a mind to save my life
  • You'd never have shamed me here
  • Last nig
