| 463. Song—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, | 5 |
| 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! | 10 |
| Herry the louns o’ the laigh Countrie, | |
| Syne to the Highlands hame to me. | |
