  • Word is to the kitchen gone and word is to the hall
    And word is up to Madam the Queen and that's the worst of all
    That Mary Hamilton's born a babe
    To the highest Stuart of all
    "Oh, rise, arise, Mary Hamilton
    Arise and tell to me
    What thou hast done with thy wee babe?
    I saw and heard weep by thee"
    "I put him in a tiny boat
    And cast him out to sea
    That he might sink or he might swim
    But he'd never come back to me"
    "Oh, rise, arise, Mary Hamilton
    Arise and come with me
    There is a wedding in Glasgow town
    This night we'll go and see"

    She put not on her robes of black
    Nor her robes of brown
    But she put on her robes of white
    To ride into Glasgow town
    As she rode into Glasgow town
    The city for to see
    The bailiff's wife and the provost's wife
    Cried, "Alack and alas for thee"
    "Ah, you need not weep for me", she cried
    "You need not weep for me
    For had I not slain my own wee babe
    This death I would not dee"
    "Oh, little did my mother think
    When first she cradled me
    The lands I was to travel in
    And the death I was to dee"
    "Last night I washed the Queen's feet
    And put the gold in her hair
    And the only reward I find for this
    The gallows to be my share"
    "Cast off, cast off my gown", she cried
    "But let my petticoat be
    And tie a napkin 'round my face
    The gallows I would not see"
    Then by 'em come the king himself
    Looked up with a pitiful eye
    "Come down, come down, Mary Hamilton
    Tonight you'll dine with me"
    "Oh, hold your tongue my sovereign liege
    And let your folly be
    For if you'd a mind to save my life
    You'd never have shamed me here"
    Last night there were four Marys
    Tonight there'll be but three
    It was Mary Beaton and Mary Seton
    And Mary Carmichael and me
