The Hieland Sodger

Lyrics

High up amang yon Hieland hills There lives a canny maiden And she's gone oot ane fine summer's night For to watch all the soldiers paradin' And they looked sae braw as they marched awa' The drums they did rattle and the pipes they did blaw Which caused young Mary for to weep and say I'll follow my Hieland sodger Ah, but, Mary dear, my wage it is small And what if in battle I should fall? I hae to gang hame to your Hieland hall Think nae mair on a soldier laddie! And they looked sae braw as they marched awa' The drums they did rattle and the pipes they did blaw Which caused young Mary for to weep and say I'll follow my Hieland sodger I hae twenty pounds in the store And I hae a herd aboot ten times more And I'll gie it to the laddie I adore And follow my Hieland laddie And they looked sae braw as they marched awa' The drums they did rattle and the pipes they did blaw Which caused young Mary for to weep and say I'll follow my Hieland sodger High up amang yon Hieland hills There lived a canny maiden And she's gone oot ane fine summer's day For to watch all the soldiers paradin' And they looked sae braw as they marched awa' The drums they did rattle and the pipes they did blaw Which caused young Mary for to weep and say I'll follow my Hieland sodger And they looked sae braw as they marched awa' The drums they did rattle and the pipes they did blaw Which caused young Mary for to weep and say I'll follow my Hieland sodger And they looked sae braw as they marched awa' The drums they did rattle and the pipes they did blaw Which caused young Mary for to weep and say I'll follow my Hieland sodger
