[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Argyle he's raised up five hundred men
Five hundred men and many
He's led them out to the bonnie Dunkeld
Bade them shoot the bonnie house of Airlie
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
"Come down the stairs, lady," he said
"Come down and kiss me fairly"
"I'll not come down, nor kiss you," she said
"Though you won't leave a standing stone at Airlie"
[Verse 5]
"I have but one favor to ask of thee, Argyle
And I hope that you will grant me fairly
Oh, take me down to some dark dowie den
Where I can't see the plundering of Airlie"
