Child Ballads - Lyrics

1

The Highlandmen a' come ,
They've a' come almost,
They've stowen away the bonny lass,
The Lady Arngosk.

2

They put her petticoat,
Likewise silken gown;
The Highland he his sword,
Said, Follow ye' come.

3

Behind back 've tied hands,
An her ;
'I wi ,' she said,
'Nor Highland .'

1	The Highlandmen hae a' come down, They've a' come down almost, They've stowen away the bonny lass, The Lady of Arngosk.
2	They hae put on her petticoat, Likewise her silken gown; The Highland man he drew his sword, Said, Follow me ye's come.
3	Behind her back they've tied her hands, An then they set her on; 'I winna gang wi you,' she said, 'Nor ony Highland loon.'
