Highland Harry.

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.
  O for him back again!  O for him back again!
I wad gi’e a’ Knockhaspie’s land For Highland Harry back again. ​When 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.
