‘We'll awa to bonnie Dundee,
And set our brither Archie free.’

[OMITTED]

They broke through locks, and they broke through bars,
And they broke through everything that cam in their way,
Until they cam to a big iron gate,
And that's where brother Archie lay.

‘Such a thing it canna be,
For there's fifty pund o gude Spanish airn
Atween my neckbane and my knee.’
