highland harry back again
    my harry was a gallant gay,
    fu' stately strade he on the plain;
    but now he's banish'd far away,
    i'll never see him back again.
    chorus.—o for him back again!

    and aye i wish him back again.
    o for him, c.

    and ilka body had their ain!
    then i might see the joyfu' sight,
    my highland harry back again.
    o for him, c.
