Stirling Brig lyrics

Doon by Stirling Brig, the Wallace lay in hiding

As the Englishmen, frae the south came riding

Loud the river Forth, between them baith was gurling

Gurling oot o' sicht, below the Brig O Stirling

Watching frae the wood, the Wallace and the Moray

As the English Cam' wi' the Earl O' Surrey

Ane by ane they crossed, a' the brig was filling

Still they onward cam' o'er the Brig O' Stirling

Wallace gave the shout, oot his men cam running

Stopped the English host on the Brig O' Stirling

Cressingham turned round, the brig was sma' for turning

Moray cut him down on the Brig O' Stirling

All the English men ran intae each other

Nane could turn about, nane could gae much further

Some fell o'er the side in the Forth was drowning

Some were left tae dee on the Brig O' Stirling

Surrey he was wild, could nae ford the river

Wished wi' all his mecht that the brig was bigger

Then he rade awa, loud the man was cursin'

He'd lost a' his men, and the Brig o' Stirling.
