the highland balou

    hee balou, my sweet wee donald,

    picture o' the great clanronald;

    brawlie kens our wanton chief

    wha gat my young highland thief.

    leeze me on thy bonie craigie,

    an' thou live, thou'll steal a naigie,

    travel the country thro' and thro',

    and bring hame a carlisle cow.

    thro' the lawlands, o'er the border,

    weel, my babie, may thou furder!

    herry the louns o' the laigh countrie,

    syne to the highlands hame to me.
