the hignd balou

hee balou, my sweet wee donald,

picture o' the great nronald;

brawlie kens our wanton chief

wha gat my young hignd 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' thends, o'er the border,

weel, my babie, may thou furder!

herry the louns o' theigh countrie,

syne to the hignds hame to me.
