<br>
Why weep ye by the tide, lady<br>
Why weep ye by the tide?<br>
I'll wed ye to my youngest son<br>
And ye shall be his bride<br>
And ye shall be his bride, lady<br>
Sae comely to be seen<br>
But aye she let the tears doon fa'<br>
For Jock o' Hazeldean.<br>
Now let this willfu' grief be done<br>
And dry that cheek sae pale<br>
Young Frank is chief of Errington<br>
And laird o' Langley-dale<br>
His step is first in peaceful ha'<br>
His sword in battle keen<br>
But aye she let the tears doon fa'<br>
For Jock o' Hazeldean.<br>
A chain of gold ye shall not lack<br>
Nor braid to bind your hair<br>
Nor mettled hound, nor managed hawk<br>
Nor palfrey fresh and fair.<br>
And you, the foremost o' them a'<br>
Shall ride our forest queen<br>
But aye she let the tears doon fa'<br>
For Jock o' Hazeldean.<br>
The kirk was deck'd at morningtide<br>
The tapers glimmer'd fair<br>
The priest and bridegroom wait the bride<br>
And dame and knight were there<br>
They sought her baith by bower and ha'<br>
The lady was na' seen<br>
She's o'er the border and awa'<br>
Wi' Jock o' Hazeldean.<br>
