The Highland Balou

    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.
