Doon by Stirling Brig, the Wallace lay in hiding As the Englishmen, frae the sooth came riding Lood the river Forth, between them baith was gurling Gurling oot o' sicht, 'low the Brig O Stirling
Watching frae the wood, the Wallace and the Moray As the English came wi' the Earl O' Surrey Ane by ane they crossed, a' the brig was filling Still they onward came o'er the Brig O' Stirling
Wallace gave the shout, oot his men came running Stopped the English host on the Brig O' Stirling Cressingham turned roond, the brig was sma' for turning Moray cut him doon on the Brig O' Stirling
All the English men ran intae each other Nane could turn aboot, nane could gae much further Some fell o'er the side in the Forth was drowning Some were left tae dee on the Brig O' Stirling
Surrey he was wild, could nae ford the river Wished wi' all his mecht that the brig was bigger Then he ran awa, lood the man was cursin' He'd lost a' his men, and the Brig o' Stirling.
