The Battle Of Bonchester Bridge

When the full moon is high

Fog creeping in

Hear the sounds of the fight

No one can win

Echoing outlawed pipes

Hauntingly played

As the ghosts of brave knights

Still fight this day

Spectres still waging war

In their deaths wake

Battling evermore

Till the daybreak

Known throughout the Borders

The Bloody Ridge

Ghostly place of honor

Bonchester Bridge

Heaven still weeps

For those noble souls

Each full moon brings

An army of warrior ghosts

Haunting pipes sing

Through the Border hills

Heroes of dream

Reliving the battle

Heaven still weeps

For those noble souls

Each full moon brings

An army of warrior ghosts

Haunting pipes sing

Through the Border hills

Heroes of dream

Reliving the battle.
