O, Baillie Na Cortie! thy turrets are tall, Descried from their top is the oncoming foe; Though numerous the warriors that watch on thy wall, Thy hope and thy trust are in Grasach Abo.
O, Baillie Na Cortie! thy chieftains abound With courage no dangers can ever lay low; In the day of the fight can their equals be found, When is roared to the heaven's heights Grasach Abo?
