Highland Widow's Lament Lyrics - Singles - Adria

Oh I am come to the low country 

Ochon ochon ochrie 

Without a penny in my purse 

To buy a meal to me 

It wasna sae in the hieland hills 

Ochon ochon ochrie 

Nae woman in the country wide 

Sae happy was as me 

For then I had a score of kye 

Ochon ochon ochrie 

Feeding on yon hill sae high 

And giving milk tae me 

And then I had three score of yowes 

Ochon ochon ochrie 

Skipping on yon grassy knowles 

And casting woo' tae me 

I was the happiest of all the clan 

Sair, sair may I repine 

For Donald was the brawest man 

And Donald he was mine 

Til Charlie Stewart cam' at last 

For to set us free 

My Donald's arm was wanted then 

For Scotland and for me 

Their waefu' fate what need I tell 

Right to the wrang did yield 

My Donald and his country fell 

Upon Culloden field 

Ochon Oh Donald Oh 

Ochon ochon ochrie 

Nae woman in the world sae wide 

Sae wretched now as me.
