[Verse 1]
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's borne a babe
To the highest Stuart of all
[Verse 2]
"Arise, arise, Mary Hamilton
Arise and tell to me
What thou hast done with thy wee babe
I saw and heard weep by thee"
[Verse 3]
"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"
[Verse 4]
"Arise, arise, Mary Hamilton
Arise and come with me
There is a wedding in Glasgow town
This night we'll go and see"
