BONNIE JAMES CAMPBELL—A
1
O it's up in the Highlands,and along the sweet Tay,
Did bonie James Campbell
ride monie a day.
2
Sadled and bridled,and bonie rode he;
Hame came horse, hame came sadle,
but neer hame cam he.
3
And doun cam his sweet sisters,greeting sae sair,
And down cam his bonie wife,
tearing her hair.
4
‘My house is unbigged,my barn's unbeen,
My corn's unshorn,
my meadow grows green.’
BONNIE JAMES CAMPBELL—B
1
Saddled and briddledand booted rade he;
Toom hame cam the saddle,
but never cam he.
2
Down cam his auld mither,greetin fu sair,
And down cam his bonny wife,
wringin her hair.
3
Saddled and briddledand booted rade he;
Toom hame cam the saddle,
but never cam he.
Bonnie George Campbell
BONNIE JAMES CAMPBELL—C
1
Hie upon Hielands,and laigh upon Tay,
Bonnie George Campbell
rode out on a day.
2
He saddled, he bridled,and gallant rode he,
And hame cam his guid horse,
but never came he.
3
Out cam his mother dear,greeting fu sair,
And out cam his bonnie bryde,
riving her hair.
4
‘The meadow lies green,the corn is unshorn,
But bonnie George Campbell
will never return.’
5
Saddled and bridledand booted rode he,
A plume in his helmet,
a sword at his knee.
6
But toom cam his saddle,all bloody to see,
Oh, hame cam his guid horse,
but never cam he!

BONNIE JAMES CAMPBELL—D
1
High upon Highlands,and low upon Tay,
Bonnie George Campbell
rode out on a day.
2
‘My meadow lies green,and my corn is unshorn,
My barn is to build,
and my babe is unborn.
