The Ballad of Greyfriars Bobby - The Real McKenzies[00:00:00]

John Gray was a gardener[00:00:21]

Who with his wife and bairn[00:00:22]

Arrived in Edinburgh[00:00:24]

The century was nearly turned[00:00:26]

The year was 1800[00:00:27]

That year was harsh and cold[00:00:29]

He could nae find nae work[00:00:31]

Their future so unsure[00:00:33]

To avoid the work house[00:00:34]

And for his family[00:00:36]

He joined the police force[00:00:38]

A constable was he[00:00:40]

A condition of his service[00:00:41]

He had to take a dog[00:00:43]

To watch by his side[00:00:45]

He chose a terrier frae sky[00:00:46]

This is the balla of Greyfriars Bobby[00:00:49]

The dog with whom his master[00:00:52]

He would stay[00:00:53]

No pain of fear[00:00:55]

For 14 long years[00:00:57]

He stood by his master's grave[00:00:59]

Succumbing to his fate[00:01:09]

In 1858[00:01:11]

Johnny Gray passed away[00:01:13]

Laid down in Greyfriars Churchyards[00:01:16]

No marker on his grave[00:01:18]

His faithful terrier stayed there[00:01:20]

He would not go away[00:01:21]

The groundskeeper was told[00:01:23]

The dog must be a lout[00:01:25]

The Greyfriars parish told him[00:01:27]

To keep that rascal out[00:01:28]

But Bobby so devoted to[00:01:30]

His master after death[00:01:32]

The people fed and sheltered him[00:01:34]

And idoled him instead[00:01:35]

This is the balla of Greyfriars Bobby[00:01:37]

The dog with whom his master[00:01:40]

He would stay[00:01:42]

No pain of fear[00:01:44]

For 14 long years[00:01:46]

He stood by his master's grave[00:01:47]

And he's still standing there today [00:01:51]

Now Bobby and his[00:02:15]

Master stand together[00:02:16]

Though they're dead[00:02:18]

Their bonds as they say[00:02:19]

Reaches far beyond the grave[00:02:20]

So now you know the story[00:02:22]

If anybody asks you[00:02:24]

You tell em of the Statue[00:02:26]

That's in Edinburgh today[00:02:27]

This is the balla of Greyfriars Bobby[00:02:30]

The dog with whom his master[00:02:33]

He would stay[00:02:34]

No pain of fear[00:02:36]

For 14 long years[00:02:38]

He stood by his master's grave[00:02:40]

And he's still standing there today[00:02:43]
