I am a darling higliwayman,
My name is Tine O’ Hairow,
I’m come of poor but honest folks
Nigh to the hills of Yarrow.
For getting of a maici with child,
For England I sail’d over.
Leaving my parents almost wild,
Since I became a Rover;
Then slight to London I did go
Wlierq I became a soldier.
Resolved to fight Britannia’s foes,
Great Hector ne’er was bolder.
They sent me to a foreign court,
WheiAcannons loud did rattle,
Believe me boys, I do not boast,
How I behaved in.battle.
For many’s the battle I’ve been in.
In Holland and French Flanders
I always fought with a courage keen,
Led on by bravg commanders.

| Description | Over 3,000 chapbooks published in Scotland in the 18th and 19th centuries. Subjects include courtship, humour, occupations, fairs, apparitions, war, politics, crime, executions, Jacobites, transvestites, and freemasonry. Chapbooks are small booklets of 8, 12, 16 and 24 pages, often illustrated with crude woodcuts. Produced cheaply and sold by peddlars on the streets, they formed the staple reading material of the common people, along with broadsides. |
