You'll wash my bl uidy wounds o'er and o'er, And syne they'll bleed nae mair.
"And ye'll tak affmy Hollin sark,
And riVt frae gair to gair ; 20
Ye'll stap it in my bluidy wounds, And syne they'll bleed nae mair."
He's liftit his brother upon his back ;
Ta'en him to yon wall fair ; He's washed his bluidy wounds o'er and o'er,
But ay they bled mair and mair. 20
And he's ta'en aff his Hollin sark,
And riven't frae gair to gair; He's stappit it in his bluidy wounds;
But ay they bled mair and mair. so
" Ye'll lift me up upon your back,
Tak me to Kirkland fair; Ye'll mak my greaf baith braid and lang,
And lay my body there.
" Ye'll lay my arrows at my head, sj
My bent bow at my feet; |
