[verse 1]
it fell on a day, on a bonnie summer day
when the sun was rife and early
that there fell oot a great dispute
atween argyle and airlie

[verse 2]
argyle he has mustered a thoosand o his men
he’s mairched them oot richt early
he’s mairched them in by the back o’ dunkeld
tae plunder the bonnie hoose o’ airlie

[verse 3]
lady ogilvie has looked fae her windae sae high
and o but she grat sairly
to see argyle an’ a’ his men
cam tae plunder the bonnie hoose o’ airlie

[verse 4]
“come doon, come doon, lady ogilvie,” he cried
“come doon an’ kiss me fairly
or i swear by the hilt o’ my sweet braidsword
that i winna leave a standin’ stane in airlie.”

[verse 5]
“i winna come doon, ye fause argylle
nor will i kiss ye fairly;
i wadna kiss ye, fause argylle
though ye widna leave a standin’ stane in airlie.”
[verse 6]
“come, tell me whaur your dowry is hid
come doon and tell me fairly.”
“l winna tell ye whaur my dowry is hid
though ye sudna leave a stan’in’ stane in airlie.”

[verse 7]
they socht it up and they socht it doon
i wat, they socht it early;
and it was below yon bowling green
they found the dowry o’ airlie

[verse 8]
“oh i hae bore him seiven bonnie sons
the eighth yin has ne’er seen his daddy
but if i had as mony owre again
they wid a’ be men for charlie

[verse 9]
“gin my guid lord had been at hame
as he’s awa’ for charlie
there doesna a campbell o’ a’ argylle
set fit on the bonnie hoose o’ airlie.”

[verse 10]
he’s ta’en her by the milk+white hand
he didna lead her fairly
he led her up tae the tap o the hill
where she saw the burnin’ o’ airlie
[verse 11]
the smoke and flames they rippled so high
the walls they were blackened fairly;
and the lady laid her doon on the green tae dee
when she saw the burnin’ o’ airlie

[verse 1]
it fell on a day, on a bonnie summer day
when the sun was rife and early
that there fell oot a great dispute
atween argyle and airlie
