Lochnagar came from the west
Into the low country
And he courted Katherine Jaffrey
And stole her heart away
Then there came one Amosdale
Down from the North Country
And he has gained her father's heart
And her mother's too
A bridal day it then was set
And the bridal day came on
And who appeared among the guests
But Lochnagar himself
A glass was filled of good red wine
Well drunk between them twa
Said he, I'll drink with you, bridegroom
And soon bound me awa'
A few words with your bridesmaiden
I hope you'll grant me then
I'm sure before her wedding day
I would have gotten ten
Out then spoke the first groomsman
And an angry man was he
Says he, I will keep my bonnie bride
Until the sun gae tee
Until the sun gae tee, he said
Until the sun gae tee
And deliver her over to her bridegroom
Which is my duty to dee
But he's ta'en her by the middle jimp
and he never stopped to call
He's taken her by the milk-white hand
And led her through the hall
He leaned him over his saiddlebow
And he kissed her cheek and chin
And then he wished them all goodnight
And heisted her ahin
He drew a trumpet from his breast
And he blew both loud and shrill
A hundred o' well-armed men
Came Lochnagar until
A hundred o' well-armed men
With milk-white steeds and grey
A hundred o' well-armed men
Upon his wedding day
Horsemen rode and bridesmen ran
And ladies in full speed
But you would not ha' seen his yellow locks
For the dust of his horse's feet
She turnèd in the saddlebow
And addressed her late bridegroom
Says, the compliments I got from you
I'll return them back again
So Katherine Jaffrey was married at morn
And she was married at noon
She was twice married in a day
Ere she cast off her gown
