lyrics

Lang hae we partit been
Lassie my dearie
Noo we are met again
Lassie lie near me
Near me, near me
Lassie lie near me
Lang hast thou lain thy lane
Lassie lie near me

Frae draed Culloden’s fields
Bloody and dreary
Mourning my country’s fate
Lanelie and weary
Weary, weary, lanelie and weary
Become a sad banished wight
Far frae my dearie

Loud loud the wind did roar
Stormy and eerie
Far from my native shore
Danger stood near me
Near me, near me
Danger stood near me
Now I’ve escaped them a’
Lassie lie near me

All that I have endured
Lassie my dearie
Here in thine arms is cured
Lassie lie near me
Near me, near me
Lassie lie near me
Lang hast thou lain thy lane
Lassie lie near me.
