Bonnie Strathyre..........Homepage

1. There's meadows in Lanark and mountains in Skye
   And pastures in hielands and lawlands forbye
   But there's nae greater luck that the heart could desire
   Than to herd the fine cattle in bonnie Strathyre
   
   O its up in the morn and awa' to the hill
   When the lang simmer days are sae warm and sae still
   Till the peak o' Ben Vorlich is girdled wi' fire
   And the evening falls gently in bonnie Strathyre
2. Then there's mirth in the sheilling and love in my breast
   When the sun is gane doun and the kye are at rest
   For there's mony a prince wad be proud to aspire
   To my winsome wee Maggie, the pride o' Strathyre
   Chorus
3. Set Flora by Colin and Maggie by me
   And we'll dance to the pipes swellin' loudly and free
   Till the moon in the heavens climbing higher and higher
   Bids us sleep on fresh brackens in bonnie Strathyre
   
   Chorus
4. Though some to gay touns in the Lawlands will roam
   And some will gang sodgerin' far from their home
   Yet I'll aye herd my cattle and bigg my ain byre
   And lov e my ain Maggie in bonnie Strathyre

Chorus
