	My Harry was a gallant gay, Fu* stately strade he on the plain ; But now he's banish'd far away; I'll never see him back again. Chorus. O, for him back again! 0,/or him back again ! I wadgie a* Knockhaspie^s land For Highland Harry back again.	When a' the lave gae to their bed, I wander dowie up the glen, I set me down and greet my fill, And ay I wish him back again. O, were some villains hangit high, And ilka body had their ain, Then I might see the joyfu' sight, My Highland Harry back again !

	Chorus. Carl, an the king come, Carl, an the king come, Thou shalt dance, and I will sing, Carl, an the king cornel An somebody were come again, Then somebody maun cross the main, And every man shall hae his ain, Carl, an the king come.	I trow we swapped for the worse: We gae the boot and better horse, And that we'll tell them at the cross, Carl, an the king come. [Coggie, an the king come, Coggie, an the king come, I'se be fou, and thou'se be toom, Coggie, an the king come.]
