Highland Lament

1. Oh I am come to the low countrie
   ochone, ochone , ochrie
   Without a penny in my purse.
   Tae buy a meal tae me.
   
2. It winsnae so in the hieland hills.
   ochone, ochone , ochrie
   nae body in the whole countrie.
   Sae happy wis as me.
   
3. For then I had a score o' kie.
   ochone, ochone , ochrie.
   grazin on yon hills sae high.
   And givin’ milk tae me.
   
4. And then I had three score o' yowes.
   ochone, ochone , ochrie.
   Skippin on yon bonnie knowes.
   And castin’ woo’ fir me.
   
5. Till Charlie Stewart came at last.
   ochone, ochone , ochrie.
   MacDonalds arm was wantin then.
   For Scotland, aye and for me.
   
6. Their woeful fate whit can I tell.
   Right tae the wrong did yield.
   MacDonald and his country fell.
   Upon cullodens field.

Burns
