Another beautiful rendition of a Scottish folk song by The Corries - they're always able to stir your heart. I love this song - gorgeous tune - sad song - amazing singing and playing as usual. I grew up listening to The Corries, among others, but they were always my favourite. Both my parents are Scots as are my siblings. Not me tho - ah weel ... I can still love and appreciate the music and the country when i go visit.

Lyrics Our lords hae to the hunting gane A-hunting o' the fallow dear And they hae gripped Hughie Graham For stealing o' the bishop's mare Well lowse my right hand free, he said And put my brand intae the same He's ne'er in Carlisle toon the day Daur tell the tale tae Hughie Graham They've ta'en him tae the gallows hill And he looke`d up at the gallows tree Yet ne'er did colour leave his cheek Nor did he even blink his ee And ye may gie my brother James My sword that's bent in the middle clear And bid him come at twelve o'clock To see me pay the bishop's mare And ye may gie to my brother John My sword that's bent in the middle broon And bid him come at two o'clock To see his brother Hugh cut down And ye may tell my kith and kin I never did disgrace their blood And if they meet the bishop's cloak To mak' it shorter by the hood

What a lovely melody this version has. Years ago I learned and performed this song and I think it was Ewan MacCall's version. The story is so poignant. It is much shorter than the one I learned

I learned Ewan MacColl's too, nearly 50 years ago, and it will always be the "real" one to me.

Here's tae us, wha's like us. There's damn few 'nd they're aw deid, Translated 'Here is to us, who so ever is like us. There are damn few and they are all dead.' It is usually used as a toast to the good health of you companions.

There is a somewhat different version of this song by Ewan McColl which was recorded in the 1950s available on line. And I found the lyrics on a song lyric web site.

+Lawrence Murtha According to the Child ballad website there are seven different versions of this song. I do like Ewan McColl's version also.

@Declan Shlug Absolutely untrue. Cumberland belonged to Scotland for just over two hundred years (c. 900 to 1157), before which it was a part of the Kingdom of Strathclyde (and at times the English Kingdom of Northumbria). It has belonged to England ever since. Lothian and the borders, however, were English lands for near half a millennia, having been settled by the Angles in the sixth century, and having been ceded to Scotland in the tenth century. Though I don't reckon you're inclined to make the claim that most Lothian families would never claim to be Scottish.
