[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.
