ciarili	Origins: Bonnie George Campbell-other versions (36)	Lyr Add: BONNIE JAMES CAMPBELL (Child #210)	11 Apr 02
I heard it as James Campbell, but you can always sing George.... Bonnie James Campbell Child #210. A lament for one James Campbell, who died in the battle of Glenlivet on October 3, 1594. High upon Hielands and low upon Tay Bonnie James Campbell rode oot on a day Saddled and bridled, sae gallant rode he On cam' his guid horse, but never came he Saddled and bridled and booted rode he, A plume tae his helmet, a sword at his knee But toom came his saddle and bluidy tae see Hame cam' his guid horse, but never came he Doon cam' his auld mither greetin' fu' sair Oot cam' his bonnie wife rivin' her hair The meadow lies green the corn is unshorn And bonnie James Campbell will never return Sadder and sadder, the heart o' mine breakin' Over and over I hear the wind keenin'
