Clifton Hicks - Bonnie James Campbell

gDGBD - I learned "Bonnie George Campbell" (Child 210) from a recording of Bascom Lamar Lunsford. It was also recorded by Frank Proffitt as "Bonnie James Campbell." Lunsford thought this song was an ancestor of "Cumberland Gap."

High upon highland low upon Tay *
Bonnie George Campbell rode out on one day,
All saddled all bridled and booted rode he
Home came the saddle but never came he

A plume in his bonnet a sword at his knee
Home came the saddle but never came he,
Home came the saddle all bloody to see
Home came the good horse but never came he

His wife came inside to escape the night air
She sat at the table and wept in despair,
My barn is unbuilt and my child is unborn
But bonnie George Campbell will never return

* the River Tay is the longest river in Scotland.
