By Mary BrooksbankAs I cam by Strathmartine Mains
What dae ye think I see
But a braw young piper laddie come
A linkin' ower the greenSingin' Hey Donal', Ho Donal'
Dirrum a doo a dayHe played a reel, an' he played a jig
An' he played a sweet strathspey
He roosed ma hairt till its beat kept time
Tae the tappin' o' my taeOh I've nae gowd tae offer ye
For I've gaithered little gear
But we'll hae love an' freedom
Gin ye'll follow me my dearThere's gowd in the broom o' the Sidlaw Hills
Honey frae the heather sweet
There's a speckled trout in the purlin' tarn
A velvet carpet neath oor feetSyne he blew up his chanter
An' sic a spring he plays
That I chose love an' freedom
Now I wander a' my daysHTML line breaks added. --JoeClone, 2-Sep-02.
