Leezie Lindsay by ross
best played on a nilon stringed guitar
Will you gang to the hielands, Leezie Lindsay,
Will you gang to the hielands wi me,
Will you gang to the hielands, Leezie Lindsay,
My bride and my darling to be?
To gang to the hielands wi you, sir,
Would bring the sad (pronounced saw )tear to my e e
Aye and leave the green glens and woodlands
And streams o my ain country.
Will you gang to the hielands, Leezie Lindsay,
Will you gang to the hielands wi me,
Will you gang to the hielands, Leezie Lindsay,
My bride and my darling to be?
I ll show you the home o the red deer,
On mountains where waves the tall pine,
And as far as the bound o the red deer,
Ilk moorland and mountain is mine.
Will you gang to the hielands, Leezie Lindsay,
Will you gang to the hielands wi me,
Will you gang to the hielands, Leezie Lindsay,
My bride and my darling to be?
A thousand claymores I can muster
Ilk blade and its bearer the same,
And when round their chieftains they rally,
The gallant Argyle is my name.
Will you gang to the hielands, Leezie Lindsay,
Will you gang to the hielands wi me,
Will you gang to the hielands, Leezie Lindsay,
My bride and my darling to be?
There s dancing and joy in the hielands,
There s piping and gladness and glee,
For Argyle has brought hame Leezie Lindsay
His bride and his darling to be.
