Lyr Req: Wail of Flodden

Does anybody out there know the words to "Wail of Flodden" as sung by JOHN WRIGHT on his 1993 album "Ride the Rolling Sky" or by SCOCHA on their 2004 album "Bordering on..."? There're even two videos of the SCOCHA version on youtube but my English is too limited (and/or my hearing too bad) to understand everything.
Thanks to anyone who'll try to help!

WAIL OF FLODDEN
(John Edward Dodd Murray/Adam Grant)

They garred the bugles blaw
Till they cam fra hill and shaw
And the bravest o' them a'
Said "fare thee weel" tae me

[CHORUS:] O love that winna dee
Like ma laddie on the lea
For his ain countree
O Flodden Field, O Flodden Field
Ma Heart is wae for thee

They ta'en away the wale
O' oor Bonnie Teviotdale
Oor callants and men o' mail
To fa' that wadna' flee

He lap tae gird his sword
At his leal auld chieftain's word
The braw callant I adored
He'll ne'er come back tae me
