Lyrics

Far awa o'er yon hieland hills
There lives a comely maiden
She's gone out on a fine summer's morn
Just to watch all the soldier's paradin

And they looked sae neet and they looked sae braw
The drums they did rattle and the pipes they did blaw
Which caused young Mary to sigh and say
I'll follow the young Hieland soldier

Mary dear Mary my pay is but sma'
And if on the battlefield I should fa'
And you sae far from your own daddie's ha'
Just to follow the young hieland soldier

CHORUS

I have fifty pounds in store
I have a heart worth ten times more
I'll gie it all to the lad I adore
Just to follow the young hieland soldier

CHORUS

Verse #1

CHORUS X 2
