Biography:
The Corries were a Scottish folk group which emerged from the Scottish folk revival of the early 1960s. Although the group went through several changes of line-up in the early days, it was as the partnership of Roy Williamson (1936 - 1990) and Ronnie Browne that it is best known. The early 1970s were the Corries' finest hour.
In 1962, Roy Williamson teamed up with Bill Smith and Ron Cockburn to form the "Corrie Folk Trio". Their first performance was in the Waverley Bar in St Mary's Street, Edinburgh.

[Verse 1]
A E
There was a man sae dark and true
D E A
Wha Scotland loo`ed sae dear
A E
There was a King wha lang will rue
D E A
the Scots wha flayed him sair
E D A
Gan cry the hounds o`Douglas vale
E A
Gan string the Ettrik bow
A E
Gan warn the spears o´Liddiesdale
D E A
that Edward leads the foe
[Verse 2]
A E
He wore the cross oor Andrew wore
D E A
by the steps o´Calvary
A E
he won the sword oor Robert wore
D E A
by the field o´Balvennie
E D A
Gan shear the chains o´slavery
E A
Gan dance my liege man lee
A E
Gan ring the bell o´liberty
D E A
shod wi the metal free
[Verse 3]
A E
He won his spurs doon by St.Bride
D E A
upon the green she free
A E
He held the Leopard and the tide
D E A
by the field o´Lintounie
E D A
Gan shine the shield yer father bore
E A
Gan strike yer metal free
A E
Gan shine the helm yer father wore
D E A
by the field of Torwoodlee
[Verse 4]
A E
he rode yin nicht when it was mirk
D E A
doon by the leopards lair
A E
he chased the tyrant in his shirt
D E A
around the field sae fair
E D A
Gan pack yer bags ye English loons
E A
Gan tak yer banners hame
A E
Gan tak yer king wha sought oor croon
D E A
and lost the bloody game

There was a man sae dark and true
