The Corries – Hugh The Graeme (Guitar Live)

F#m
Our lords hae to the hunting gane

E
A-hunting o' the fallow dear

F#m
And they hae gripped Hughie Graham

             E  F#m
For stealing o' the bishop's mare

F#m
Well lowse my right hand free, he said

E
And put my brand intae the same

F#m
He's ne'er in Carlisle toon the day

              E    F#m
Daur tell the tale tae Hughie Graham

F#m
They've ta'en him tae the gallows hill

E
And he looke`d up at the gallows tree

F#m
Yet ne'er did colour leave his cheek

        E       F#m
Nor did he even blink his ee

F#m
And ye may gie my brother James

E
My sword that's bent in the middle clear

F#m
And bid him come at twelve o'clock

       E      F#m
To see me pay the bishop's mare

F#m
And ye may gie to my brother John

E
My sword that's bent in the middle broon

F#m
And bid him come at two o'clock

           E       F#m
To see his brother Hugh cut down

F#m
And ye may tell my kith and kin

E
I never did disgrace their blood

F#m
And if they meet the bishop's cloak

           E       F#m
To mak' it shorter by the hood
