Fu' stately strade he on the plain;

But now he's banish far awa,

And ay I wish him back again,O for him back again,
O for him back again,
I wad gie a' Knockhaspie's land
For Highland Harry back again.O were some villains hangit high,
And ilka body had their ain!
Then I might see the joyfu' sight,
My Highlan Harry back again.
O for him back again,
O for him back again,
I wad gie a' Knockhaspie's land
For Highland Harry back again.
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
