The Highland Rover.
Loud blaw the frosty breezes,
the snaws the mountains cover,
Like winter on seizes,
Since my young Highland Rover
Far wanders nations over.
Where'er he go, where'er he stray,
may Heaven be his warden:
Return him safe to fair Strathspey,
and bonny Castle Gordon.

may Heaven be his warden:
Return him safe to fair Strathspey,
and bonny Castle Gordon.
The trees now naked groaning,
shall soon wi' leaves be hinging,
The birdies dowie moaning,
Shall a' be blythely singing,
And every flower be springing.
Sae I'll rejoice the lee-lang day,
when by his mighty warden,
My youth's return'd to fair Strathspey,
and bonny Castle Gordon.
