Sawney Bean

Lionel McClelland

[Verse 1]
Go ye not by Gallowa
Come bide a while, my freen'
I’ll tell ye o the dangers thare
Beware o Sawney Bean
Beware o Sawney Bean

[Verse 2]
Thare's naebody kens that he bides thare
For his face is seldom seen
But tae meet his eye is tae meet your fate
At the hands o Sawney Bean
The hands o Sawney Bean

[Verse 3]
For Sawney he has taen a wife
And he's hungry bairns tae wеan
And he’s raised thaim up on the flеsh o men
In the cave o Sawney Bean

[Verse 4]
And Sawney has been well endowed
Wi daughters young and lean
And thay hae taen their faither's seed
In the cave o Sawney Bean
The cave o Sawney Bean

[Verse 5]
And Sawney's sons are young and strong
And their blades are sharp and keen
Tae spill the blood o travellers
Wha meet wi Sawney Bean
Wha meet wi Sawney Bean

[Verse 6]
So if you ride from thare to here
Be ye wary in between
Lest they catch your horse and spill your blood
In the cave o Sawney Bean
The cave o Sawney Bean

[Verse 7]
Thay'll hing ye up and cut your throat
And thay'll pick your carcass clean
And thay'll uise yer banes tae quiet the weans
In the cave o Sawney Bean
The cave o Sawney Bean

[Verse 8]
But fear ye not, our Captain rides
On an errand o the Queen
And he carries the writ o fire and sword
For the head o Sawney Bean
The head o Sawney Bean

[Verse 9]
Thay've hung them high in Edinburgh toun
And likewise all their kin
And the wind blaws cauld on all their banes
And tae hell thay aw hae gaen
And tae hell thay aw hae gaen
