03 Mar 00 - 07:56 AM (#188676) Subject: Lyr Add: BRIG O' STIRLING From: Susan A-R Actually had it written out (alas, re typing is necessary, so it may have interesting stuff in it Watching frae the wood, Wallace and Dumbardy (?) As the English cam' wi' the Earl o' Surrey Ane by ane they crossed, a' the brig was filling Still they onward cam' o'er the Brig o' Stirling Wallace gave the shout, with his men cam running Stopped the English host on the Brig o' Stirling Pressing mon (?) turned round, the brig was sma' for turning Murray (?) cut him down on the Brig o' Stirling All the English men ran intae each other Nane could turn about, nane could gae much further Some fell o'er the side in the ford was drowning Some were left tae dee on the Brig o' Stirling Surrey he was wild, could nae ford the river Wished wi' all his mecht that the brig was bigger Then he rade awa, lout the man was cursi' Wallace and his men, and the Brig o' Stirling. Perhaps you can fill in some more of the holes, but this should give you a start. Keep in mind, it's transcribed from my listening to the recording, so its accuracy is a bit suspect. Susan |
