| | | MARCH, march, Ettrick and Teviotdale! | |
| Why the de’il dinna ye march forward in order? | |
| March, march, Eskdale and Liddesdale! | |
| All the Blue Bonnets are over the Border! | |
| Many a banner spread | 5 |
| Flutters above your head, | |
| Many a crest that is famous in story!— | |
| Mount and make ready, then, | |
| Sons of the mountain glen, | |
| Fight for the queen and our old Scottish glory. | 10 |
| |
| Come from the hills where your hirsels are grazing; | |
| Come from the glen of the buck and the roe; | |
| Come to the crag where the beacon is blazing; | |
| Come with the buckler, the lance, and the bow. | |
| Trumpets are sounding; | 15 |
| War-steeds are bounding; | |
| Stand to your arms, and march in good order, | |
| England shall many a day | |
| Tell of the bloody fray, | |
| When the Blue Bonnets came over the Border. | 20 | | | |
