The sun shines on thon high, high hill And the sun shines on thon dowie dell The sun, it never goes doon nae mair In the place where me and my love dwell "And it's when will you be back, bonnie laddie? Aye and when will you be back again?" "When the heather hills are nine times burnt And the grass is growing green again" "Well, that's ower lang tae bide awa' And it's ower lang awa' fae hame And the baby that is yet unborn Will be ower lang wantin' a name" Chorus: Comfort for the comfortless Aye and honey for the bee Comfort for the comfortless But there's nane but you for me And he's mounted on his good black steed And he's saddled up to ride She's kilted up her petticoats green And she ran swiftly by his side And the first toon that they came to He's bought her the bonniest hose and shoon And bade her rue and turn back noo And never follow him again (Chorus) And the second toon that they came to He's bought her the bonniest silken goon And bade her rue and turn back noo And never follow him again (Chorus) And the third toon that they came to He's bought her the bonniest weddin' ring And bade her dry her rosy cheeks And up and ride alang wi' him (Chorus 2x) 1
