Robert Burns: Leezie Lindsay
Burns collected the chorus of this and sent it to Thomson for the Musical Museum, but it was first published in 1806, after Burns death.
Will ye gang to the Hielands, Leezie Lindsay,
Will ye gang to the Hielands wi' me?
Will ye gang to the Hielands, Leezie Lindsay,
My pride and my darling to be.
Oh to gang tae the Hielands wi you sir,
I dinna ken how that may be
For ken I the land that you live in
Nor ken I the lad I'm going wi
Oh Leezie lass ye maun ken little
if say ye dinna ken me
For my name is Lord Ronald MacDonald
I'm a chieftain o high defree
She has kilted her coats o green satin
She has kilted them up tae the knee
And she's off wi Lord Ronald MacDonal
His bride and his darlin to be.
