Johnny o Braidislee Old Blind Dogs

[Verse 1]
Johnny arose on a Mey mornin
Gone for watter tae wash his hands
He hae lowsed tae me o his twa gray dugs
That lie bound in iron bands

[Verse 2]
When Johnny's mother, she heard on this
Her hands for dule she wrang
Cryin, "Johnny, for yer venison
Tae the green woods dinna ye gang."

[Verse 3]
Aye, but Johnny hae taen his guid benbow
His arrows one by one
Aye, and he's awa tae the green wood gaen
Tae dae the dun deer doun

[Verse 4]
Oh, Johnny, he shot, aye, the dun deer she lapped
Hе wounded her in the sidе
Aye, between the watter and the wood
The gray dugs laid thair pride

[Verse 5]
It's by thare cam a silly auld man
Wi an ill that John he might dae
Oh, and he's awa doun tae Esslemont
Weel, the King's seven foresters tae see
