There lived a lady in Scotland,
Hey my love and ho my joy
There lived a lady in Scotland,
Who dearly loved me
There lived a lady in Scotland,
She fall'n in love wi' an Englishman,
And bonnie Susie Cleland 's t'be burnt in Dundee.
The father to the daughter came,
Hey my love and ho my joy
The father to the daughter came,
Who dearly loved me
The father to the daughter came,
"Will you forsake your Englishman?"
Or bonnie Susie Cleland 's t'be burnt in Dundee.
"I'll no' my Englishman forsake,"
Hey my love and ho my joy
"I'll no' my Englishman forsake,"
Who dearly loves me
"I'll no' my Englishman forsake,
Tho' you may burn me at the stake."
And bonnie Susie Cleland 's t'be burnt in Dundee.
"O where will I get a little wee boy?"
Hey my love and ho my joy
"O where will I get a little wee boy?"
Who dearly loves me
"O where will I get a little wee boy
To carry tidings to my joy?
That bonnie Susie Cleland 's t'be burnt in Dundee."
"O here am I, a little wee boy."
Hey my love and ho my joy
"O here am I, a little wee boy."
Who dearly loves ye
"O here am I, a little wee boy.
I'll carry tidings to your joy.
That bonnie Susie Cleland 's t'be burnt in Dundee."
"O give to him my right hand glove."
Hey my love and ho my joy
"O give to him my right hand glove."
Who dearly loves me
"O give to him my right hand glove.
Tell him to find another love."
For bonnie Susie Cleland 's t'be burnt in Dundee.
Go give to him my gay gold ring
Hey my love and ho my joy
Go give to him my gay gold ring
Who dearly loves me
Go give to him my gay gold ring
Tell him I'm gone to my burning
And bonnie Susie Cleland 's t'be burnt in Dundee.
Her father he carved up the stake
Hey my love and ho my joy
Her father he carved up the stake
Who dearly loves me
Her father he carved up the stake
Her brother he the fire did make
And bonnie Susie Cleland was burnt in Dundee.
