Will Ye No Come Back Again

Bonnie Charlie's noo awa'
Safely o'er the friendly main,
Mony a heart will break in twa
Shouuld he ne'er come back again.

Will ye no come back again
Will ye no come back again
Better lo'ed ye canna be,
Will ye no come back again

He trusted in your Hieland men,
They trusted you, dear Charlie.
They kent you're hiding in the glen,
Death or exile braving.

Will ye no come back again
Will ye no come back again
Better lo'ed ye canna be,
Will ye no come back again

We watched thee in the gloamin' hour,
We watched thee in the mornin' grey
Though thirty thousand pounds they gie,
There is nane that would betray.

Will ye no come back again
Will ye no come back again
Better lo'ed ye canna be,
Will ye no come back again

Sweet the laverock's note and lang,
Liltin' wildly up the glen,
But aye tae me he sings a sang,
Will ye no come back again

Will ye no come back again
Will ye no come back again
Better lo'ed ye canna be,
Will ye no come back again
