Oh, I am come to the low countrie
Och, on, Och, on, Och, rie
Wi-oot a penny in my purse
Tae buy a meal tae me.
It was nae sae in the Heelan hills
Och, on, Och, on, Och, rie
Nae wimman in the kintra wide
Sae happy was as me.
Fir then I had a score o kye,
Och, on, Och, on, Och, rie
Feedin’ on yon hill sae high
An givin milk tae me.
And there I had three score o yows
Och, on, Och, on, Och, rie
Skippin on yon bonnie knowes
An castin woo tae me.
I was the happiest o’ a’ the Clan
Sair, fair may I repine
For Douglas was the brawest man
And Douglas he was mine.
Til Charlie Stewart cam at last
Sae far tae set us free
My Douglas’ arm was wanted then
Fir Scotland and fir me.
Their waefu fate what need I tell
Right to the wrong did yield
My Douglas and his Kintra fell
Upon Culloden field.
Och, on, Och,on, O Douglas, Oh!
Och, on, Och, on, Och, rie
Nae wimman in the warld wide
Sae wretched noo as me.
Nae wimman in the warld wide
Sae wretched noo as me.
