lyrics

remember the days, my love
we walked hand in hand through the grove
where I was led, you one step ahead
to our place down by the burn

‘twas spring in the year ‘45
the year that i was to make you my wife
but along came our king, the Stuarts, the claim
and I left you down there by the burn

My heart is back in the Highlands my love
I sway with you in my arms
i’ll see you soon when Bonnie’s our king
i’ll meet you down there by the burn

in Culloden we make our stand
with targe and dirk in our hand
our feet in the moor
Cumberland’s cannon they roared
no more will I dance by the burn

with my brothers I lay in the ground
under the flag and tartan they found
but be not afraid I’m miles away
waiting for you by the burn

my heart is back in the Highlands my love
I sway with you in my arms
i’ll see you soon when Bonnie’s our king
i’ll meet you down there by the burn
