Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
My Harry was a gallant gay fu’ stately strode he on the plain
Now he’s banish’d far away I’ll never see him back again
Chorus:
Oh for him back again, oh for him back again
I wad gie a’ knock-has-pie’s land for highland Harry back again
When a’ the lave pe to their bed, I wander dowie up the glen;
I set me down and greet my fill, and aye I wish him back again.
Chorus:
Oh for him back again, oh for him back again
I wad gie a’ knock-has-pie’s land for highland Harry back again
Oh, were some villains hangit high, and ilka body had their ain!
Then I might see the joyfu’ sight, My Highland Harry back again.
Chorus:
Oh for him back again, oh for him back again
I wad gie a’ knock-has-pie’s land for highland Harry back again
