highland widow's lament - sam shackleton lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
oh i am come to the low country
ochone, ochone, ochrie
without a penny in my purse
to buy a meal for me

[verse 2]
and it was [?] in the highland hills
ochone, ochone, ochrie
no woman in the country wide
sae happy was as me

[verse 3]
for then i had a score of kye
ochone, ochone, ochrie
feedin’ on yon hill so high
and givin’ milk to me

[verse 4]
and there i had three score o’ yowes
ochone, ochone, ochrie
skippin’ on yon bonnie knowes
and casting woo to me

[verse 5]
and i was the happiest o all my clan
sair, sair may i repine
and donald was the bravest man
and donald he was mine
[verse 6]
till charlie stewart he came at last
so far to set us free
my donald’s arm was wanted then
for scotland and for me

[verse 7]
their waefu’ fate what need i tell
right to the wrang did yield
my donald and his country fell
upon culloden field

[verse 8]
oh i am come to the low country
ochone, ochone, ochone, ochrie
no woman in the world wide
sae wretched now as me
sae wretched now as me
