Lyrics:
Murphy comin' frae Dumbarton
Now Rory was a piper bold
Hieland blood wi' in him flowed
And lowland bodies' hearts aye glowed
To the tunes of Rory Murphy
All the lassies say hello
Donald where's your troosers
I wear me kilt each day and night
It's not a chore it's my delight
And the Hieland lassies would
As I cam in by Auchendoun
Just a wee bit fae the toon
Tae the Hielands I was bound
Tae view the Haughs o' Cromdale
I met a man in tartan
Hie upon Hielands and laigh upon Tay
Bonnie George Campbell rade oot on a day
Saddled and bridled and booted rade he
Hame cam his guid horse but
Where in deep purple hue, the hieland hills we view
And the moon comin' out in the gloamin'
The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring
And in
honey,
My bonny Hieland laddie,
In his wee bittie kilt
Of caledonian pladie
He's my new love, my true love
My sweetest sugar daddy
As we're tripping
now ten thousand sheep,
A' feeding on yon braes sae bonny,
And ilka hundred a shepherd has,
Although I be but a Hieland laddie.
'It's I hae fifty acres
o' Ben Lomon',
Where in purple hue the Hieland hills we view,
An' the moon comin' out in the gloamin'.
[Chorus]
The wee birdies sing
On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lo-mond
Where in purple hue, the hieland hills we view
And the moon coming out in the gloa-ming
Chorus:
Oh! Ye'll tak' the high
bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond
Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen
BY the steep, steep side o Ben Lomond
Where in deep purple hue, the hieland hills
Where in soft purple hue, the hieland hills we view,
And the moon coming out in the gloaming.
O ye take the high road, and I'll take the low road,
purple hue, the hieland hills we view
And the moon coming out in the gloaming
O ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road
And I'll be in
o' Ben Lomond.
Where in deep purple hue, the hieland hills we view,
And the moon comin' out in the gloamin'.
The wee birdies sing and the wild
Chain my body
And blaze a trail
Through my valour
You won't take my freedom away
Then in the distance o' times tae come
I saw a mon on the Hieland
She never trips, she never falls
Double Dutch or Hieland toe
She's the one that steals the show
When they all come out to play
She's the one that leads
o' Ben Lomond.
Where in deep purple hue, the hieland hills we view,
And the moon comin' out in the gloamin'.
The wee birdies sing and the wild
