Walter Scott - Border BalladWalter Scott - Border Ballad
Work rating: Low


March, march, Ettrick and Teviotdale!     Why the de`il dinna ye march forward in order?   March, march, Eskdale and Liddesdale!     All the Blue Bonnets are over the Border!             Many a banner spread             Flutters above your head,   Many a crest that is famous in story!--             Mount and make ready, then,             Sons of the mountain glen,   Fight for the queen and our old Scottish glory.   Come from the hills where your hirsels are grazing;     Come from the glen of the buck and the roe;   Come to the crag where the beacon is blazing;     Come with the buckler, the lance, and the bow.             Trumpets are sounding;             War-steeds are bounding;   Stand to your arms, and march in good order,             England shall many a day             Tell of the bloody fray,   When the Blue Bonnets came over the Border.
