BANNOCKS O' BEAR MEAL

Chorus

Bannocks o' bear meal,
Bannocks o' barley,
Here's to the Highlandman's
Bannocks o' barley!
176

I

Wha in a brulyie
Will first cry ‘a parley’?
Never the lads
Wi' the bannocks o' barley!

II

Wha, in his wae days,
Were loyal to Charlie?
Wha but the lads
Wi' the bannocks o' barley!

Chorus

Bannocks o' bear meal,
Bannocks o' barley,
Here's to the Highlandman's
Bannocks o' barley!
