UP IN THE MORNING EARLY

ROBERT BURNS

Chorus

JP in the morning's no' for me,
Up in the morning early;

When a' the hills are cover'd wi' snaw,
I'm sure it's winter fairly.

Cauld blaws the wind frae east to west,
The drift is driving sairly;

Sae loud and shrill I hear the blast,
I'm sure it's winter fairly.

The birds sit chittering in the thorn,
A' day they fare but sparely;
And lang's the night frae e'en to morn
I'm sure it's winter fairly.

Up in the morning's no' for me,

Up in the morning early;

When a' the hills are cover'd wi' snaw,
I'm sure it's winter fairly.

HEY, THE DUSTY MILLER

ROBERT BURNS

EY, the dusty miller,
And his dusty coat;

He will win a shilling,
Or he spend a groat.
Dusty was the coat,

Dusty was the colour,

Dusty was the kiss

That I got frae the miller.

Hey, the dusty miller,

And his dusty sack;

Leeze me on the calling
Fills the dusty peck.
Fills the dusty peck,
Brings the dusty siller;

I wad gie my coatie
For the dusty miller.

And be the Captain's Lady.

When the drums do beat,

And the cannons rattle,

Thou shalt sit in state,

And see thy love in battle.

When the vanquish'd foe

Sues for peace and quiet,

To the shades we'll go,
And in love enjoy it.

O mount and go,

Mount and make you ready;

O mount and go,

And be the Captain's Lady.

MY HEART'S IN THE HIGHLANDS

M

ROBERT BURNS

Y heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here; My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer; A-chasing the wild deer, and following the roe My heart's in the Highlands wherever I go. Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North, The birthplace of valour, the country of worth: Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,

The hills of the Highlands forever I love.

Farewell to the mountains high cover'd with snow;
Farewell to the straths and green valleys below;
Farewell to the forests and wild hanging woods;
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.
My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;
Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe
My heart's in the Highlands wherever I go.
