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 gie a Knockhaspie's land
For Higland Harry back again

When a' the lave gae to their bed
I wander dowie up the glen
I set me down and greet my fill
And ay I wish him back again

O for him back again!
O for him back again!
I wad gie a Knockhaspie's land
For Higland Harry back again

O, were some villains hangit high
And ilka body had their ain
Then I might see the joyfu' sight
My Higland Harry back again!

O for him back again!
O for him back again!
I wad gie a Knockhaspie's land
For Higland Harry back again
