HIGHLAND HARRY
Chorus
O, for him back again!O, for him back again!
I wad gie a' Knockhaspie's land
For Highland Harry back again.
43
I
My Harry was a gallant gay,Fu' stately strade he on the plain,
But now he's banish'd far away:
I'll never see him back again.
II
When a' the lave gae to their bed,I wander dowie up the glen,
I set me down, and greet my fill,
And ay I wish him back again.
III
O, were some villains hangit high,And ilka body had their ain,
Then I might see the joyfu' sight,
My Highland Harry back again!
Chorus
O, for him back again!O, for him back again!
I wad gie a' Knockhaspie's land,
For Highland Harry back again.
