The Battle of Stirling Lyrics


There doon by Stirling Bridge

The Wallace lay in hiding

As the great English host

Frae the South camr riding

Loud the river Forth

Tween them baith was roaring

Rumbling as side

O' the bridg o' Stirling

From the woods are watching

The Wallace and the Moray

And as came the English

With the earl o' Surrey the cross and...

Ane by ane they did cross the Bridg o'Stirling

Still the onway came

Here where William Wallace waited

Tae fight'em o' the Bridg o'Stirling

Then Wallace men came on the bridg o' Stirling

Stubbed the English host

There Moray cut Cressingham doon

Tae slay them o' the Bridg o' Stirling

Then all the English men

ran intae each other

So nane could turn about

And nane could go much further

Some fell over the side

And in the Forth were drowning

Wild was the earl Surrey

He could nae ford the river

He wished with all his might

That the bidg was much bigger

So then he rode awa

Loud the man was cursin' and...

Ane by ane they did cross the Bridg o'Stirling

Still the onway came

Here where William Wallace waited

Tae fight'em o' the Bridg o'Stirling

Then Wallace men came on the bridg o' Stirling

Stubbed the English host

There Moray cut Cressingham doon

Tae slay them o' the Bridg o' Stirling
