recorded by Jean Redpath - I heard it from Casey Casebeer

HIGHLAND HARRY
(Robert Burns)


I.

        My Harry was a gallant gay,
            Fu' stately strode he on the plain:
        But now he's banish'd far away,
            I'll never see him back again,
                    O for him back again!
                        O for him back again!
                    I wad gie a' Knockhaspie's land
                        For Highland Harry back again.

II.

        When a' the lave gae to their bed,
            I wander dowie up the glen;
        I set me down and greet my fill,
            And ay I wish him back again.
                    O for him back again!
                        O for him back again!
                    I wad gie a' Knockhaspie's land
                        For Highland Harry back again.


III.

        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 back again!
                        O for him back again!
                    I wad gie a' Knockhaspie's land
                        For Highland Harry back again.

IV.

        Sad was the day, and sad the hour,
            He left me in his native plain,
        And rush'd his native prince to join,
            But, oh! he ne'er came back again.
                    O for him back again!
                        O for him back again!
                    I wad gie a' Knockhaspie's land
                        For Highland Harry back again.

V.

        Strong was my Harry's arm in fight,
            Unmatch'd on a' Culloden plain;
        But vengeance has put down the right,—
            And oh! he'll ne'er come back again.
                    O for him back again!
                        O for him back again!
                    I wad gie a' Knockhaspie's land
                        For Highland Harry back again.
