Words by Robert Burns, published in the Scots Musical Museum, Vol. 2,
1790; melody attributed to Thomas Blacklock, arr. Landless. Learned from Caroline Pugh.

lyrics

Lang hae we parted been,
lassie my dearie;
Nou 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 dread Culloden’s field, bluidie
and drearie;
Mournin’ my country’s fate, lanelie
and wearie.
Wearie, wearie,
lanelie and wearie.
Become a sad, banished wight;
Far frae my dearie.

Loud, loud the wind did roar, stormie
and eerie;
Far frae my native shore,
dangers stude near me.
Near me, near me,
dangers stude near me.
Nou I’ve escaped them all;
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.
