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.---
