The Hieland Sodger - The Tannahill Weavers

High up amang yon Hieland hills

There lived a canny maiden

She’s gone oot ane fine summer’s night

For to watch all the soldiers paradin'

And they looked sae braw as they marched awa'

The drums, they did rattle, and the pipes, they did blaw

Which caused young Mary for to weep and say

«I'll follow my Hieland sodger»

Ah but Mary dear, my wage, it is small

And what if in battle I should fall

I hae to gang hame to your Hieland hall

Think nae mair on a soldier laddie

And they looked sae braw as they marched awa'

The drums, they did rattle, and the pipes, they did blaw

Which caused young Mary for to weep and say

«I'll follow my Hieland sodger»

I hae twenty pounds in the store

And I hae a herd 'bout ten times more

I’ll gie it to the laddie I adore

And follow my Hieland laddie

And they looked sae braw as they marched awa'

The drums, they did rattle, and the pipes, they did blaw

Which caused young Mary for to weep and say

«I'll follow my Hieland sodger»

The drums, they did rattle, and the pipes, they did blaw
