Bonnie Charlie’s noo awa’, Safely owre the friendly main; Mony a he’rt will break in twa, Should he no’ 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 kent you hiding in the glen, Death or exile braving. English bribes were a’ in vain; An’ e’en tho puirer we maun be, Siller canna buy the heart That beats aye for thine and thee. We watch’d thee in the gloamin’ hour, We watch’d thee in the mornin’ grey; Tho’ thirty thousand pound they’d gi’e, Oh, there is nane that wad betray. Sweet’s the laverock’s note and lang, Liltin’ wildly up the glen; But aye to me he sings ae sang, Will ye no come back again?
