Come all you thoughtless young men,

a -warnin' take by me,

To think on my unhappy flage,

to be hanged upon a tree.

My name is William Cawdor,

to you I do declare,

I courted Maria Martin,

most beautiful and fair.

I promised I would marry her

upon a certain day

Instead of that I was resolved

to take her life away
