highland harry back again

    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.

    chorus.—o for him back again!

    o for him back again!

    i wad gie a' knockhaspie's land

    for highland harry back again.

    when a' the lave gae to their bed,

    i wander dowie up the glen;

    i set me down and greet my fill,

    and aye i wish him back again.

    o for him, &c.

    o were some villains hangit high,

    and ilka body had their ain!

    then i might see the joyfu' sight,

    my highland harry back again.

    o for him, &c.
