[00:00.00]Oh, I here come to the low countrie
[00:04.28]Och-on, och-on, och-rie!
[00:10.14]Without a penny in my purse
[00:14.02]Tae buy a meal tae me
[00:17.55]
[00:40.31]It was na sae in the Highland hills
[00:45.53]Och-on, och-on, och-rie!
[00:50.69]Nae woman in this country wide
[00:55.39]Sae happy was as we
[01:02.45]For then I had a score o' kye
[01:07.35]Och-on, och-on, och-rie!
[01:12.83]Feeding on yon hills so high
[01:17.35]And giving milk to me
[01:24.67]And there I had threescore o' yowes
[01:29.07]Och-on, och-on, och-rie!
[01:34.62]Skipping on yon bonnie knowes
[01:39.09]And casting woo' to me
[01:46.32]I was the happiest of a' the clan
[01:51.57]Sair, sair, may I repine
[01:56.50]For Donald was the brawest man
[02:01.19]And Donald he was mine
[02:08.49]Till Charlie he cam' o'er at last
[02:13.23]Sae far to set us free
[02:18.10]My Donald's arm it wanted was
[02:23.01]For Scotland and for me
[02:30.18]Their waeful' fate what need I tell?
[02:34.92]Right to the wrang did yield
[02:40.21]My Donald and his country fell
[02:45.07]Upon Culloden-field
[02:51.95]Och-on, Och-on, O Donald O!
[02:56.83]Och-on, och-on, och-rie!
[03:01.87]Nae woman in this whole world wide
[03:06.56]Sae wretched now as me
