An old ballad writer once had a day out Looking for something to ballad about He say Fyvie Castle with its turrets so tall And the sad old gravestone beside the kirk wall. He talked to the locals and the minister, Will They told him that Agnes was born at the mill. He went back to Auld Reekie, had a dram with pal Lammie And together they made a sad ballad about Annie. That's my theory, and I'm sticking to it.
