Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Battle of Harlow / ...Harlaw (#163)
Subject: RE: Lyrics of 'The Battle of Harlow'
Just looked at the lyric sheet already given - no wonder you can't understand it. For instance "skree" should read Skye. Looks like a non-native of Scotland tried to translate and made a dog's breakfast of it.

Go to www.antobarandualchais.co.uk which is the website for The School of Scottish Studies, and look for the lyrics there. Also look for a sound recording of Jeannie Robertson singing it. That should at least set you on the right track.
