Doon by Stirling Brig, the Wallace lay in hiding As the Englishmen, frae the south came riding Loud the river Forth, between them baith was gurling Gurling oot o' sicht, below the Brig O Stirling
Watching frae the wood, the Wallace and the Moray As the English Cam' wi' the Earl O' Surrey Ane by ane they crossed, a' the brig was filling Still they onward cam' o'er the Brig O' Stirling
Wallace gave the shout, oot his men cam running Stopped the English host on the Brig O' Stirling Cressingham turned round, the brig was sma' for turning Moray cut him down on the Brig O' Stirling
All the English men ran intae each other Nane could turn about, 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 rade awa, loud the man was cursin' He'd lost a' his men, and the Brig o' Stirling.
