Unknown - Gallowa Hills Lyrics

GALLOWA' HILLS

Oh I'll tak' my plaidie contented tae be
A wee bittie kilted aboon my knee
And I'll gie my pipes anither blaw
And I'll gan oot ower the hills tae Gallowa'

Oh the Gallowa' hills are covered wi' broom
Wi' heather bells in bonnie bloom
Wi' heather bells and rivers a'
An I'll gan oot ower the hills tae Gallowa'

For I say, bonnie lass, it's will ye come wi' me
Tae share yer lot in a strange country
For tae share yer lot when doon fa's a'
And I'll gan oot ower the hills tae Gallowa'

For I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my grannie's spinning wheel
I will sell them a' when doon fa's a'
An I'll gan oot ower the hills tae Gallowa'
