��ANONYMOUS 3 #4. Cradle Song

MY deir hert, young Jesus sweit, Prepare thy creddil in my spreit, And I sail rock thee in my hert And never mair from thee depart.

But I sail praise thee evermoir With sangis sweit unto thy gloir ; The knees of my hert sail I bow, And sing that richt Balulaloiv !

��Y blood so red

For thee was shed, Come home again, come home again ; My own sweet heart, come home again I You've gone astray Out of your way, Come home again, come home again !

"V"E Highlands and ye Lawlands,

  • O where hae ye been ?

They hae slain the Earl of Murray, And hae laid him on the green.

Now wae be to thee, Huntley !

And whairfore did ye sae ! I bade you bring him wi' you.

But forbade you him to slay.
