were yon hills and vallies mine,
Yon j>alace, and yon gardens fine I
The world then the love should know
1 bear my Highland lassie, O.
Within the glen, &c.
But fickle fortune frowns on me,
And I maun cross the rag"ing sea;
But while my crimson currents flow,
III love my Highland lassie, O.
Within the glen, &c.
Altho' thro' foreign climes 1 range, ■;
I.know her heart will never eJiaiig'eJ
For her bosom burns with hoiiotu's slow,
My faithful Highland lassie, O. ';•
Within the glen, &c.
For her 111 dare the billows' roar,
For her 111 trace a distant shore.
That Indian wealth may lustre throw
Around my Highland lassie, O.
Within the glen, &c.
She has my heart, she has my hand.
By sacred truth and honor's band!
'Till the mortal stroke shall lay me low,
I'm thine my highland lassie, O.
Farewell, the glen sae bushy, O,
Farewell, the plain sae rashy, O?
To other lands I now must go
To sing my Highland lassie, O.
