I was hoping for Ossian's version, which was slightly different, so I decided to listen again and make the changes myself; they did a lovely version with a beautiful tune to follow.

Posting in case anyone here is an Ossian fan.



I don't know how to format, so it will probably come out wonky.

My name is Jamie Raeburn, from Glasgow town I came
My place and habitation I'm forced to leave with shame
Frae my place and habitation, I noo must gang awa'
Far from the bonnie hills and dales of Caledonia

It was early in the morning, before the break of day
We were wakened by the turnkey who unto us did say
Arise you hapless convicts, arise you one and a'
This is the day you are to stray from Caledonia

We all arose, put on our clothes, our hearts were full of grief
Our friends that stood around the coach could grant us no relief
Our parents, wives and sweethearts, their hearts were broke in twa
To see us leave the hills and dales of Caledonia

Farewell, my aged father, you were the best of men
And likewise my own sweetheart, it's Catherine is her name
No more we'll walk by Clyde's clear stream or by the Broomielaw
For I must leave the hills and dales of Caledonia.

My name is Jamie Raeburn, from Glasgow town I came
My place and habitation I'm forced to leave with shame
Frae my place and habitation, I noo must gang awa'
Far from the bonnie hills and dales of Caledonia
