Douglas Tragedy- sung by Mrs. Isabella Reed of Port Gordon, c. 1931
"Hold on, hold on," Lord William," she cried,
"For your strokes is so wondrous sair,
It's sweethearts I got many's the one,
But a father I'll never get mair."
He mounted her on his milk-white steed,
Himself on his dapple grey,
His sword and his bugle horn hanging down by his side,
And straight they both rode away.
