MAGGIE O'THE HIGHLANDS.
Maggie o'the Highlands
Was unco' bra', unco' bra!
Maggie fra' the Highlands
Gang'd awa', gang'd awa'!
I loo'd her mair than ony,
Blythe was she as fairy queen,
Nane lilted half so bonny,
Or danc'd sa featly o' the green.
Tul, lul.
Was unco' bra', unco' bra!
Maggie fra' the Highlands
Gang'd awa', gang'd awa'!
I loo'd her mair than ony,
Blythe was she as fairy queen,
Nane lilted half so bonny,
Or danc'd sa featly o' the green.
Tul, lul.
Maggie o'the Highlands,
She came ne mair, came ne mair;
Maggie's fra' the Highlands,
Ken ye where? ken ye where?
To me then a' she's dearer,
Her I seek wi mickle pain,
O, gin I aince mair speer her,
My dancing days will back again.
Tul, tul.
She came ne mair, came ne mair;
Maggie's fra' the Highlands,
Ken ye where? ken ye where?
To me then a' she's dearer,
Her I seek wi mickle pain,
O, gin I aince mair speer her,
My dancing days will back again.
Tul, tul.
