Johnnie Armstrong Steeleye Span

Johnnie Armstrong - Steeleye Span
Some speak of lords, some speak of lairds
Some speak of man of high degree
Of a gentle man I did sing a song
Sometime called Lord of Gilnocky

The king he writes a loving letter, with his own hand so tenderly
And he has sent it to Johnny Armstrong
To come and speak with him speedily
The Elliots and the Armstrongs did converse

They were a gallant company
We'll ride and meet our lawful king
And bring him safe to Gilnocky
McDune and Cape already fell

There is sun in great plenty
We'll wеlcome home our royal king
And hope hе'll dine in Gilnocky
Now John he is for Edinburgh bound

And his eight score men so gallantly
And each upon a milk white steed
With buckles and swords hanging down to their knees
When Johnny came before the king
He fell down upon his knee
Oh pardon my sovereign liege he said
Pardon my eight score men and me
