<br>
My Harry was a gallant gay,<br>
Fu' stately strade he on the plain;<br>
But now he's banish'd far away,<br>
I'll never see him back again.<br>
(Chorus)<br>
O for him back again!<br>
Oh for him back again!<br>
I wad gie a' Knockhaspie's land<br>
For Highland Harry back again.<br>
When a' the lave gae to their bed,<br>
I wander dowie up the glen;<br>
I set me down and greet my fill,<br>
And aye I wish him back again.<br>
(Chorus)<br>
O were some villains hangit high,<br>
And ilka body had their ain!<br>
Then I might see the joyfu' sight,<br>
My Highland Harry back again.<br>
(Chorus)<br>
(repeat Chorus)<br>
