| [00:06.20] |
Word is to the kitchen gone |
| [00:11.55] |
And word is to the Hall |
| [00:17.15] |
And word is up to Madam the Queen |
| [00:22.84] |
And that's the worst of all |
| [00:28.46] |
That Mary Hamilton has borne a babe |
| [00:34.20] |
To the highest Stuart of all |
| [00:42.51] |
Oh rise, arise Mary Hamilton |
| [00:48.73] |
Arise and tell to me |
| [00:54.17] |
What thou hast done with thy wee babe |
| [00:59.92] |
I saw and heard weep by thee |
| [01:08.44] |
I put him in a tiny boat |
| [01:14.09] |
And cast him out to sea |
| [01:19.70] |
That he might sink or he might swim |
| [01:25.37] |
But he'd never come back to me |
| [01:34.30] |
Oh rise arise Mary Hamilton |
| [01:39.74] |
Arise and come with me |
| [01:45.34] |
There is a wedding in Glasgow town |
| [01:50.78] |
This night we'll go and see |
| [01:59.34] |
She put not on her robes of black |
| [02:04.49] |
Nor her robes of brown |
| [02:10.19] |
But she put on her robes of white |
| [02:15.51] |
To ride into Glasgow town |
| [02:24.28] |
And as she rode into Glasgow town |
| [02:29.46] |
The city for to see |
| [02:34.97] |
The bailiff's wife and the provost's wife |
| [02:40.35] |
Cried Alack and alas for thee |
| [02:48.40] |
You need not weep for me she cried |
| [02:54.29] |
You need not weep for me |
| [02:59.78] |
For had I not slain my own wee babe |
| [03:05.46] |
This death I would not dee |
| [03:13.36] |
Oh little did my mother think |
| [03:18.92] |
When first she cradled me |
| [03:24.55] |
The lands I was to travel in |
| [03:29.94] |
And the death I was to dee |
| [03:38.71] |
Last night I washed the Queen's feet |
| [03:44.05] |
And put the gold in her hair |
| [03:49.29] |
And the only reward I find for this |
| [03:55.02] |
The gallows to be my share |
| [04:03.32] |
Cast off cast off my gown she cried |
| [04:08.76] |
But let my petticoat be |
| [04:14.14] |
And tie a napkin round my face |
| [04:19.72] |
The gallows I would not see |
| [04:28.10] |
Then by them come the king himself |
| [04:33.44] |
Looked up with a pityful eye |
| [04:38.72] |
Come down come down Mary Hamilton |
| [04:44.45] |
Tonight you will dine with me |
| [04:55.31] |
Oh hold your tongue my sovereign liege |
| [05:01.01] |
And let your folly be |
| [05:06.18] |
For if you'd a mind to save my life |
| [05:13.43] |
You'd never have shamed me here |
| [05:21.65] |
Last night there were four marys |
| [05:27.32] |
Tonight there'll be but three |
| [05:32.62] |
T'was Mary Beaton and Mary Seton |
| [05:39.20] |
And Mary Carmichael and me. |
