| Lyrics: | YON HIGH HIGH HILL
As I gaed ower yon high high hill
I met a bonnie lassie;
She
looked tae me an' I tae her
And oh but she was sassy.
cho: Lin tae toorin ray, fol
the diddle ay
Fal the diddle ido, lil tae toorin rae.
"Oh what's your name my
bonnie bonnie lass,
Oh what's your name my honey?"
Quite modestly she answered
me,
"My mammy calls me Annie."
"Far are ye gyaun my bonnie bonnie lass,
Far are
gyaun my honey?"
Quite modestly she answered me,
"An errand for my mammy."
"Wid ye
tak' a lad, my bonnie bonnie lass,
Wid ye tak' a lad, my honey?"
Quite modestly she
answered me,
"I daur nae for my mammy."
"I will come tae you in the middle o' the
nicht,
When the moon is shining clearly,
An' ye will rise and let me in
An' the auld
wife winna hear me."
Oh there I lay that lee lang nicht,
An' we parted there next
morning,
As up I rose, put on my clothes,
Says "Fare thee weel, my
darlin'."
"Ah sodger, ye maun marry me,
An noo's the time or never.
Ah sodger
ye maun marry me,
Or I am done forever."
From The Scottish Folksinger, Buchan and
Hall
