286. Song—Highland Harry back again by Robert Burns

 MY Harry was a gallant gay,
 Fu’ stately strade he on the plain;
But now he’s banish’d far away,
 I’ll never see him back again.


Chorus.—O for him back again!
O for him back again!
I wad gie a’ Knockhaspie’s land
For Highland Harry back again.


When a’ the lave gae to their bed,
 I wander dowie up the glen;
I set me down and greet my fill,
 And aye I wish him back again.
 O for him, &c.


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, &c.
