lyrics

Hie upon Hielands and laigh upon Tay
Bonnie George Campbell rade oot on a day
Saddled and bridled and booted rade he
Hame cam his guid horse but never cam he.

Saddled and booted and bridled rade he
A plume tae his helmet, a sword at his knee
But toom cam his saddle a bluidy tae see
Hame cam his guid horse but never cam he.


Doon cam his auld mother, greetin fu sair
Oot cam his bonnie wife rivin her hair
“My meadow lies green and my corn is unshorn
My barn is tae big and my baby unborn”.

Hie upon Hielands and laigh upon Tay
Bonnie George Campbell rade oot on a day
Saddled and bridled and booted rade he
Hame cam his guid horse but never cam he
Hame cam his guid horse but never cam he.

and is brought to life by Findlay Napier, Gillian Frame and
producer/multi-instrumentalist Mike Vass.
