I'll tak' my plaidie contented to be
A wee bittie kilted abune my knee
An' I'll gie my pipes another blaw
An' I'll gang oot o'er the hills tae Gallowa'
[Chorus]
Oh the Gallowa' hills are covered wi' broom
Wi' heather bells in bonnie bloom
Wi' heather bells an' rivers a'
An' I'll gang oot o'er the hills tae Gallowa'
For I say bonnie la**ie will ye come wi' me
Tae share your lot in a far country
For tae share your lot when doon fa's a'
An' we'll gang oot ower the hills tae Gallowa'
[Chorus]
For I'll sell my rock, an' I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my granny's spinning wheel
I will sell them a' when doon fa's a'
An' we'll gang oot ower the hills tae Gallowa'
