The Lads Among Heather by The Corries
The Lads Among Heather
Em G
Come all ye young lassies whar hae ye been
Sae sleepy and drowsy, I ken by your een
In all the wide world, you'll ne'er find a frien'
Like the lads that were reared among heather
REFRAIN:
G
Awa' wi' yer satins, yer silks and yer shawls
Em
Yer soirees and yer parties and yer elegant balls
G
For a dance in the barn's worth ten in the hall
C G D G
Wi' the lads that were reared among heather
Em G
Tak' a walk roon yer cities, braw buildings ootside
Em
Gaze on the splendors and the wonder with pride
G
Fine ships have been built, on the banks o' the Clyde
C G D G
By the lads that were reared among heather
Em G
When the queen wants some soldiers, she kens whaur to send
Em
To the mountains and valleys, the hills and the glens
G
Wi' their bonnets and plaids, they're aye true tae the end
C G D G
Are the lads that were reared among heather
Em G
Now England can boast for the sweet-scented rose
Em
And Ireland can boast for the shamrock she grows
G
But gi' me the land, where the clear water flows
C G D G
And the mountains are covered with heather
2x
Awa' wi' yer satins, yer silks and yer shawls
Yer soirees and yer parties and yer elegant balls
For a dance in the barn's worth ten in the hall
Wi' the lads that were reared among heather
