I Must Awa
I must awa and sorrowful be,
I must awa and take leave of thee.
My bonnie wee lass who holds me so near,
I'll soon return to ye, my Bonnie, my dear.
I must awa to Culloden to be sure,
to battle the sassenach or we'll be nay more.
I must awa with musket and bow,
I must awa, awa from me home.
Oh aye, I do ken what awaits me there.
Oh aye, I do ken I'll miss ye rua hair.
With tartan and plaid they'll ken the Mackree
I must awa, mo rún, to fight for thee.
~ In the voice of: Angus Michael James Mackree
The battle of Culloden, 16th April 1746
