When James the King ruled by sceptered crown With bishops and pen from London town And the sword could ne'er bring Scotland down, Where the cold North wind creeps through the dawn, At old Montrose on a winter's morn, The fourth Earl's only son was born. And he grew strong and he grew stern, Of books and knowledge he would learn And so to Glasgow he must turn. For truth and valour he was named For bowmanship he was acclaimed And the silver arrow he did gain First through France then to London town This noble youth did proudly ride With his good bow strapped in behind Then his king's favour he has sought But slander brought it all to nought To Scotland he sped back from court. But new king Charles, so ill advised By Hamilton and Laud likewise, Scotland they betrayed by lies. With papacy and bad intent, A new prayer-book to Scotland sent To control the kirk was his intent Paupers raged around St. Giles against the king's churchmen, But Montrose spoke above them all, the people's love to win. So Jamie joined the Covenant, for war they did prepare And he rode north to Huntly's house but found no welcome there. So the gay red Gordon ribbons were chased around the land Until at Inverurie Lord Huntly signed his hand. So Montrose rode to Aberdeen where the Covenant held sway To speak the king at Berwick, a truce was signed that day. But the grim Geneva Ministers put Montrose in a cell And there he thought to serve Scotland and serve his king as well. Meanwhile down south in England the civil war began, So Montrose rode to London town to parley with the king. For a thousand men he pleaded to save his fair Scotland, But he returned a general without a single man. The giant MacDonald Alastair with sixteen hundred men From Ireland sailed to join Montrose and plunder Campbell's glen. Montrose the small united force of gaelic men did lure Against seven thousand covenant on the field of Tippermuir. I'll serve thee in such noble ways was never heard before, I'll crown and deck thee with all bays and love thee more and more. With stones and bows, the screaming clans put covenant to flight That sabbath day at Tippermuir was such a bloody sight, Then marching north to Aberdeen where treasure could be found The soldiers fought for bounty there while James fought for the crown I'll serve thee in such noble ways was never heard before, I'll crown and deck thee with all bays and love thee more and more.
