Isle of St Helena/Highland Harry

​
HIGHLAND HARRY.
My Harry was a gallant gay,Fu' stately strode he on the plain;But now he's banish’d far away,I’ll never see him back again.O for him back again,O for him back again,I wad gi'e a' Knockhaspie’s land,For highland Harry back again.
Whan a' the lave gae to their bed,I wander dowie up the glen;I sit me down and greet my fill,And ay I wish him back again.O for him, &c.
O were some villains hangit high,And ilka body had their ain;Then I might see the joyfu’ sight, ​My highland Harry back again.O for him, &c.
