The Braes of Galloway


Oh lassie wilt thou gang wi me
And leave thy friens i the sooth countrie
Thy former friens and sweethearts a’
An gang wi me tae Gallowa?
Oh Gallowa braes they wave wi broom
An heather bells in bonnie bloom
There’s lordly seats an livins braw
Amang the braes o Gallowa

There’s stately wuids on mony a brae
Where burns and birds in concert play
An the waukrife echo answers a’
Amang the braes o Gallowa

The simmer shiel I’ll build for thee
Alang the bonnie banks o Dee
Half circlin roun my faither’s ha
Amang the braes o Gallowa

When Autumn waves her flowin horn
And fields o gowden grain are shorn
I’ll busk thee in fine pearlins braw
Tae join the dance in Gallowa

At e’en when darkness shrouds the sight
And lanely, langsome is the night
Wi tentie care my pipes I’ll thraw
Play “A’ the way to Gallowa

Should fickle fortune on us frown
Nae lack o gear our love should drown
Content should shield oor haudin sma
Amang the braes o Gallowa
Come, while the blossom’s on the broom
And heather bells sae bonnie bloom
Come, let us be the happiest twa
On a’ the braes o Gallowa
