Doon Deeside cam Inveray, a-whistlin' an' playin'
G C D7
An' he cam by Brackley's yetts ere the day was dawin'
C G C D7
"Oh, are ye there, Brackley, and are ye within?
C G C D7
Oor shairp swords are at yer yetts, an' we'll gaur your bluid spin"

[Verse 2]
G Em
"Rise up, Betsy Gordon, an' gie me my gun
G C D7
For though I gang oot, love, sure I'll never come in
C G C D7
Come kiss me, my Betsy, nor think I'm tae blame
C G C D7
For though I hae ae man, I'm sure they hae ten"

[Verse 3]

When Brackley was mounted and rade on his horse
G C D7
A bonnier baron ne'er rade o'er a course

Twa gallanter Gordons did never swords draw

But against three-and-thirty, fa's me, whit is twa?

Wi' their dirks and their broadswords, they did him surroun'

Frae the heid o' the Dee tae the banks o' the Spey
C G C D7
The Gordons shall mourn him and ban Inveray
