My Harry was a gallant gay,
6 -3 -3 6 -3 -3 -3
Fu' stately strade he on the plain;
6 7 6 -5 -4 3 -3 -4
But now he's banish far awa,
66 -5 6 7 -7 -8 -7
I'll never see him back again.
7 6 -5 7 -4 -4 -3 -3

O for him back again,
-7 -7 7 -8 -7
O for him back again,
7 7 6 -5 -4 3
I wad gie a' Knockhaspie's land
66 -5 6 7 -7 -8 -7
For Highland Harry back again.
7 6 -5 6 -4 -4 -3 -3

When a' the lave gae to their bed,
I wander dowie up the glen;
I set me down and greet my fill,
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.
