My Harry Was A Gallant Gay.
By Robert Burns
Tune - "Highland's Lament." 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. 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.
