Child Ballads - Lyrics

1

's up in Highlands,
along the sweet Tay,
Did bonie James Campbell
ride monie day.

2

Sadled bridled,
bonie ;
Hame came horse, hame came sadle,
neer cam .

3

And doun cam his sweet sisters,
sae sair,
And cam his bonie wife,
tearing hair.

4

'My is ,
my barn' unbeen,
My 's unshorn,
my meadow grows green.'

1	O it's up in the Highlands, and along the sweet Tay, Did bonie James Campbell ride monie a day.
2	Sadled and bridled, and bonie rode he; Hame came horse, hame came sadle, but neer hame cam he.
3	And doun cam his sweet sisters, greeting sae sair, And down cam his bonie wife, tearing her hair.
4	'My house is unbigged, my barn's unbeen, My corn's unshorn, my meadow grows green.' * * * * *
