Jock O’ Braidislee The Corries

[Verse 1]
Johnny got up on a May mornin
Called for water tae wash his hands
Says, "Gae lowse tae me ma twa gray dugs
That lie in iron bands, bands
That lie in iron bands."

[Verse 2]
Johnny's mother she heard o this
Her hands for dule she wrang
Sayin, "Johnny, for yer venison
Tae the greenwood dinnae gang, gang
Tae the greenwood dinnae gang."

[Verse 3]
But Johnny has taen his guid benbow
His arrows one by one
And he's awa tae the greenwood gaen
Tae ding the dun deer doun, doun
Tae ding the dun deer doun

[Verse 4]
Now Johnny shot and the dun deer lapt
And he wounded her in the side
And there between the water and the woods
The grey hounds laid her pride, her pride
The grey hounds laid her pride
