Love and freedom

And as I came o'er Strathmartin brae
What do you think I seen?
But a brisk young piper laddie
Comin' a-linkin' o'er yon green
Hey Donal, ho Donal, dirrum a doo a day

He played a jig and he played a reel
He played a sweet strasphey
And he set my heart to beating
To the tappin' of his tae
Hey Donal, ho Donal, dirrum a doo a day

He says, "I've no gold to give to you
I've gathered little gear
But I'll give love and freedom
If you'll come with me, my dear"
Hey Donal, ho Donal, dirrum a doo a day

There's gold in the broom of the Sidlaw hills
Honey in the heather sweet
There's a speckled trout in the highland tarn
Green carpets 'neath our feet
Hey Donal, ho Donal, dirrum a doo a day

So he's ta'en out his chanter
And such a tune he plays
She's chosen love and freedom
Now she'll wander all her days
Hey Donal, ho Donal, dirrum a doo a day

Hey Donal, ho Donal, dirrum a doo a day
