*Squire McCallian* Dark was the night, cold blew the wind Next came down was the rain When Betsy left her mothers house Never to return again When Betsy left her mothers house She feared not rain nor cold But she did not tell her mother It was love that made her bold Her mother raising from her bed Crying mournfully wild Saying I'll search this whole world over Untill I find my child Up hills, down hills, her mother went ................................ ....... For three long days and nights But with no sign of her Betsy She then layed down and died The hounds began to did around ............................. .......... was Squire McCallian .............. he was crying through grief and shame ......................... On the handle of the knife was Squire McCallian's name ............................................. The knife I ate my dinner with I plunged it in her breast With my staff I knocked her down I need not tell the rest And where he fell they burried him A dismel sight to see No Cleargy found to bless the ground Beneath the old oak tree. Can anyone please help fill in the lyrics to this song
