The Highland Balu
the highland balou
hee balou, my sweet wee donald,
picture o' the great ronald;
brawlie kens our wanton chief
wha gat my young highland thief.
leeze me on thy bonie craigie,
an' thou live, thou'll steal a naigie,
travel the try thro' and thro',
and bring hame a carlisle cow.
thro' the lawlands, o'er the border,
weel, my babie, may thou furder!
herry the louns o' the laigh trie,
syo the highlands hame to me.
