Highland Lament Lyrics

1.Oh I am come to the low countrie
ochone, ochone , ochrie
Without a penny in my purse.
Tae buy a meal tae me.
2.It winsnae so in the hieland hills.
ochone, ochone , ochrie
nae body in the whole countrie.
Sae happy wis as me.

3.For then I had a score o' kie.
ochone, ochone , ochrie.
grazin on yon hills sae high.
And givin' milk tae me.
4.And then I had three score o' yowes.
ochone, ochone , ochrie.
Skippin on yon bonnie knowes.
And castin' woo' fir me.

5.Till Charlie Stewart came at last.
ochone, ochone , ochrie.
MacDonalds arm was wantin then.
For Scotland, aye and for me.
1.Their woeful fate whit can I tell.
Right tae the wrong did yield.
MacDonald and his country fell.
Upon c**lodens field.
