about

A mildly incestuous Scottish love song with a rare happy ending. Learned from the the amazing talented Jim Malcolm, one of the finest musicians that Scotland has ever produced.

lyrics

There were four and twenty nobles sat doon in the king's ha'
And bonnie Glenlogie was the flooer o’ them a'
There was nine and nine nobles rade thro' Banchory fair
And bonnie Glenlogie was the flooer o’ them there

There was six and six ladies sat doon in the king's ha'
Bonnie Jean o’ Bethelnie was the flooer o’ them a'
Doon cam Jeannie Gordon, she cam tripping doon the stairs
And she's favoured Glenlogie ower a' that was there

Glenlogie, Glenlogie gin ye prove sae kind
My love's laid upon you and I've told ye my mind
He turned him roond lightly as the Gordons does a'
I thank ye, Jeannie Gordon but I'm promised awa'

She ca'd tae her maidens for tae make her a bed
Wi’ ribbons and napkins tae tie up her head
Then oot spak her faither, and a wise man was he
I'll wed ye tae Dumfendrum, he's mair gowd than he

Oh haud your tongue faither for that maunna be
Gin I get me Glenlogie for him will I dee
Then her faither's ain chaplain, a man o’ great skill
He wrote a braw letter and indited it weel

A pox on ye Logie, noo sin' it is so
A lady's love is on ye must she die in her woe?
A pox on ye Logie, noo sin' it is time
A lady's love's laid on ye, must she die in her prime?

When Glenlogie got the letter he being amang men
It's oot spak Glenlogie what does young woman mean?
When he looked on the letter a light lauch gied he
But e'er he read ower a tear blint his e'e



Gae saddle me the black horse, gae saddle me the broon
Bonnie Jeannie o Bethelnie will be deid e'er I win
But the horses werenae saddled nor led on the green
Till bonnie Glenlogie was three mile his lane

It was pale and wan was she when Glenlogie cam in
But red and rosy grew she when she kent it was him
Whaur lies your pain lady, does it lie in your side
Whaur lies your pain lady, does it lie in your heid?

Oh, na, na Glenlogie you're far frae the pairt
The pain I lie under it lies in my heart
Turn roond Jeannie Gordon, turn roon on your side
And I'll be the bridegroom and ye'll be the bride

Noo, Jeannie's gotten married and her tocher doon told
Bonnie Jean o Bethelnie was scarce sixteen years auld
Bethelnie, oh Bethelnie, ye shine whaur ye stand
And the heather bells aroon ye shine ower Fyvie's land
