Darby O'Gill - Glasgow Peggy

First when I came to Glasgow town
The highland hills were all behind me
And the Bonniest lass that ever I spied
She lived in Glasgow, they called her Peggy
Oh highland lads are brisk young lads
Highland lads are young and bonnie
And I'm away to Glasgow town
To steal away the Bonnie Peggy
Her father he's got word of this
And oh but he was wondrous angry
You can take my oxen and all of my cows
But Ye' cannot take my Bonnie Peggy
Ah, hold yer tongue, ye silly old man
For I've got cows and yowes already
I'll no' steal yer oxen or your cows
But I will take your Bonnie Peggy
I said, braw lass, why roam ye there
Why roam ye 'lone among the heather
She said: My father's away from home
And I'm herdin' all his cows together
So I said Braw lass if ye'll be mine
And ye care to lie in a bed of feathers
In silks and satins you shall lie
Ye'll be my queen among the heather
She's mounted on his milk white steed

And he himself on his wee grey naggie
They rode away at the break of the day
He's run away with his Bonnie Peggy
Well they rode o'er hills and they rode o'er dales
And they rode through the moors and the mosses many
Until they came to a little glen
He's lighted down with his Bonnie Peggy
Their bed was of the gay green turf
Their blankets of the bracken bonnie
His laid his plaid beneath her head
And she's lien down with her highland laddie
He's taken her up
Yon high, high hill
When that the sun was shinin' clearly
Says all that ye see
Belongs to thee
For lien down with a highland laddie
For all that ye have left behind
Is a wee cot house and a wee kale yardie
Now your the lady of the Isle of Skye
For lien down with a highland laddie
When first I came to Glasgow town
The highland hills were all behind me
And the bonniest lass that ever I spied
She lives in Skye now we called her Peggy
