....................shake loose the border.
    I walked by day and                       Three hundred border horse
    I walked by night                           the Great Montrose did need
    through the Debatable Lands           thirty eight years after
    Oh! what a sight.                           King James had done the deed.
    The rolling hills and                        Too late for Montrose
    the towers I did see                        at Philiphaugh that day           
    of the Armstrongs, Elliotts and        for the father of King Charles
    my Graham ancestry.                     had exiled away,
                                                        the best with horse
                                                        and the best with lance
    I walked by night                           when once the Grahams
    to take a chance                             made their heads to dance.
    to see those who rode with
    steel bonnets, plaid and lance.
    They rode when the moon              They still ride for those
    was full and bright                         who still believe
    on shoeless hoofed horses               on into the moonlight
    all through the night.                       to pillage and to reive.
                                                        I believe and do not lie
                                                        the Grahams are still there
                                                        "Ne Oublie"
