Her father roared with anger loud
When his daughter asked to marry--
Love for a man from a family shunned
Filled this daughter of Castlecary

Imprisoned in the darkest room
Of the castle's only tower
Lizzie dreamed of her fair love
And waited for the hour

The night was cold, as was her heart
Lights flickered on the wall
Lizzie imprisoned in her room
Listened carefully for the call

In the distance her lover rode
Determined to free his bride
From the bounds of a tyrant father
And have her by his side

With clansmen Duncan rode that night
Up to the castle keep
Spreading his tartan long and wide
He implored his love to leap

While her father slept that night
Quietly in his bed
From the turret, Sweet Lizzie jumped
To a plaid of blue and red.

And as her father slumbered on
Until the break of day
With her own true Scottish love
Lizzie ran away.
