Hee balou, my sweet weeDonald,
Picture o’ the great Clanronald;
Brawliekens our wanton Chief
Whagatmy young Highland thief.
Leeze me onthy boniecraigie,
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!
Herrythe louns o’the laighCountrie,
Syneto the Highlands hameto me.
