Will Ye No Come Back Again
Bonnie Charlie's noo a wa', Safely owre the friendly main
Mony a heart will break in twa, Should he ne’er come back again
Will ye no come back again? Will ye no come back again?
Better lo'ed ye canna be, Will ye no come back again?
Ye trusted in your Hieland men, They trusted you dear Charlie:
They ken your hiding in the glen, Death or exile braving
Chorus
English bribes were a' in vain, Tho’ puir and puirer we maun be
Silver canna buy the heart, That beats aye for thine and thee
Chorus
We watch'd thee in the gloamin’ hour, We watch'd thee in the mornin' grey
Though thirty thousand pounds they gaed ye, There is nane that wad betray
Chorus
Sweet’s the lavrocks note and lang, Liltin’ wildly up the glen
But aye to me he sings aye sang, Will ye no come back again
Chorus
