The Black Douglas

       A             E
There was a man sae dark and true
      D        E         A
Wha Scotland loo`ed sae dear
  A                   E
There was a King wha lang will rue
      D         E         A
the Scots wha flayed him sair
     E                D       A
Gan cry the hounds o`Douglas vale
     E                 A
Gan string the Ettrik bow
A                      E
Gan warn the spears o´Liddiesdale
     D      E          A
that Edward leads the foe

   A                  E
He wore the cross oor Andrew wore
   D            E    A
by the steps o´Calvary
   A                 E
he won the sword oor Robert wore
       D     E     A
by the field o´Balvennie
     E                D     A
Gan shear the chains o´slavery
     E                 A
Gan dance my liege man lee
A                    E
Gan ring the bell o´liberty
    D       E       A
shod wi the metal free

   A                  E
He won his spurs doon by St.Bride
  D       E         A
upon the green she free
   A                E
He held the Leopard and the tide
        D     E       A
by the field o´Lintounie
    E                    D        A
Gan shine the shield yer father bore
     E                A
Gan strike yer metal free
A                       E
Gan shine the helm yer father wore
        D        E     A
by the field of Torwoodlee

    A                   E
he rode yin nicht when it was mirk
     D       E        A
doon by the leopards lair
   A                 E
he chased the tyrant in his shirt
  D        E         A
around the field sae fair
    E                D       A
Gan pack yer bags ye English loons
     E               A
Gan tak yer banners hame
A                     E
Gan tak yer king wha sought oor croon
  D          E       A
and lost the bloody game
