Benjamin Britten
The Highland Balou
Hee balou, my sweet wee Donald
Picture o' the great Clanronald;
Brawlie kens our wanton Chief
Wha gat my young Highland thief
Leeze me on thy bonie craigie
An' thou live, thou'll steal a naigie
Travel the country thro' and thro'
And bring hame a Carlisle cow
Thro' the Lawlands, o'er the Border
Weel, my babie, may thou furder!
Herry the louns o' the laigh Countrie
Syne to the Highlands hame to me
