Hobby Elliott

O bonny Hobby Elliott,
O canny Hobby still,
O bonny Hobby Elliott,
Who lives at Harlow -Hill:

Had Hobby acted right,
As he has seldome done,
He would have kiss'd his wife,
And let his maid alone.

-Bell, by Mr. James Robson, Stone Mason,
Thropton, near Rothbury leader of the
band in the Pretender's army in 1715.
