Child 210
Bonnie James Campbell
Version B

Finlay's Scottish Ballads, 1808, 1, xxxiii.

Narrative

1   Saddled and briddled
and booted rade he;
Toom hame cam the saddle,
but never cam he.
2   Down cam his auld mither,
greetin fu sair,
And down cam his bonny wife,
wringin her hair.
3   Saddled and briddled
and booted rade he;
Toom hame cam the saddle,
but never cam he.
