Tannahill Weavers - The Highland Laddie video free download
This is one of my favourites- hope you like it.
Lyrics:
The Lawland Lads think they are fine
But oh they're vain and idle gaudy
How much unlike the graceful mein
And manly looks o' my Highland Laddie
If I were free at will to choose
To be the wealthiest Lawland Lady
I'd tak' young Donald without trews
Wi' bonnet blue and Highland plaidie
Chorus:
Oh my bonnie bonnie Highland Laddie
Oh my bonnie bonnie Highland Laddie
When I was sick and like to die
He rowed me in his Highland plaidie
O'er Benty Hill wi' him I'll run
And leave my Lawland kin and daddy
Frae winters chill and summers sun
He'll screen me in his Highland plaidie
A painted room, a silken red
Maun please a Lawland Lord and Lady
But I can kiss and be as glad
Behind a bush in his Highland plaidie
Nae greater joy I'll e'er pretend
Than that his love prove true and steady
Like mine to him which ne'er shall end
While heaven preserves my Highland Laddie
Chorus

I saw the Weavers perform my first year at the University of North Carolina. That was an amazing way to kick off my college experience, and I'll never forget it. Scotia go bragh!11 years ago

I love it, was the first Scottish song that I heard, when I was six... After that, in my house sound the Tannahill Weavers 24 hours 24 and I fall in love with Scotland, I dream to visit it one day (I'm Italian) XD The picture is really beautiful, do you do it?13 years ago

I've been witness to three of their performances over the years at Skippers Smokehouse in Tampa, FL. I've three of their CDs. If they ever show there again in the winter I will be wearing a great kilt of my ancestral clan in their honor! I hope it will be a cold winter night, if or when they do; any other time it would be too warm (or hot!) to wear the great kilt.14 years ago

My grandma was a Tannahill and my grandpa was a Smyly before they were married. That's as close as I get to Scottish heritage. My people are from Kilmarnock. Do I pass? lol!Related Videos
