The Hieland Sodger

High up amang yon Hieland hills
There lived a canny maiden
She’s gone oot ane fine summer’s night
For to watch all the soldiers paradin'
And they looked sae braw as they marched awa'
The drums, they did rattle, and the pipes, they did blaw
Which caused young Mary for to weep and say
«I'll follow my Hieland sodger»
Ah but Mary dear, my wage, it is small
And what if in battle I should fall
I hae to gang hame to your Hieland hall
Think nae mair on a soldier laddie
And they looked sae braw as they marched awa'
The drums, they did rattle, and the pipes, they did blaw
Which caused young Mary for to weep and say
«I'll follow my Hieland sodger»
I hae twenty pounds in the store
And I hae a herd 'bout ten times more
I’ll gie it to the laddie I adore
And follow my Hieland laddie
And they looked sae braw as they marched awa'
The drums, they did rattle, and the pipes, they did blaw
Which caused young Mary for to weep and say
«I'll follow my Hieland sodger»
High up amang yon Hieland hills
There lived a canny maiden
She’s gone oot ane fine summer’s day
For to watch all the soldiers paradin'
And they looked sae braw as they marched awa'
The drums, they did rattle, and the pipes, they did blaw
Which caused young Mary for to weep and say
«I'll follow my Hieland sodger»
And they looked sae braw as they marched awa'
The drums, they did rattle, and the pipes, they did blaw
Which caused young Mary for to weep and say
«I'll follow my Hieland sodger»
And they looked sae braw as they marched awa'
The drums, they did rattle, and the pipes, they did blaw
Which caused young Mary for to weep and say
«I'll follow my Hieland sodger»
