Highland Harry.
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.

O for him back again!
O for him back again!
O for him back again!
I wad gi’e a’ Knockhaspie’s land
For Highland Harry back again.
When a’ the lave gae to their bed,
I wander dowie up the glen;
I sit me down, and greet my fill,
And ay I wish him back again.
