Carter Bar from the south-west
"Hae ye ever crossed the Border,
Ower the Carter Fell.
An' thowt o' the ghosts o' the raiders,
Or o' Parcy Reed hord tell?
Gan doon the road to Ridsdale,
Wheor the Otterburn ran red,
Wheor Hotspur fought the Douglas,
An' the heather was thor bed.
If ye've nivor hord o' Elsdon,
A'll tell ye noo beware,
For its curlew's eggs and heather broth
Ye'll get for supper there."
