I'm trying to find the lyrics to Hieland Sodger--a trad. Scottish song once sung by the Battlefield Band on Arfolk Records. Thanks!

Hallo Susan!

HIELAND SODGER

High up amang yon Hieland hills
There lives a canny maiden,
And she's gone oot ane fine summer's nicht
To watch all the soldier's paradin'.

CHORUS: And they looked sae braw as they marched awa',
The drums they did rattle and the pipes they did blaw,
Which caused young Mary for to weep and say,
I will follow my Hieland soldier.

Ah, but, Mary dear, my wage is small,
And what if in battle I should fall,
I hae gang hame tae your Hieland hall,
Think nae mair on a soldier laddie! CHORUS

Ah, but I got twenty pounds in the store,
And I've got a herd 'bout ten times more,
And I'll gie it to the laddie I adore,
And I'll follow my Hieland laddie. CHORUS


Enjoy!
Regards,
Alisdair

Thank you so much, Alisdair. That's the song exactly! I thought I would never find it, and there it was, in one day! I appreciate it---Sue.
