song—my higndssie, o

tune—“the deuks dang o'er my daddy.”

nae gentle dames, tho' e'er sae fair,

shall ever be my muse's care:

their titles a' arc empty show;

gie me my higndssie, o.

chorus.—within the glen sae bushy, o,

aboon the in sae rashy, o,

i set me down wi' right guid will,

to sing my higndssie, o.

o were yon hills and vallies mine,

yon pce and yon gardens fine!

the world then the love should know

i bear my higndssie, o.

but fickle fortune frowns on me,

and i maun cross the raging sea!

but while my crimson currents flow,

i'll love my higndssie, o.
