'NEATH THE ROWAN TREE
Sweet grows the Rowan Tree, its leaves the first of spring
‘Neath the Rowan Tree I gave my love a ring
Sweet grow the summer blooms, white flowers in the breeze
‘Neath the Rowan Tree I fell on bended knee
She said, “Yes”, I danced with joy
She said, “Yes”, as the Rowan Tree stood proud
Sweet grows its autumn dress, red berries growing wild
‘Neath the Rowan Tree my love said "I'm with child"
Sweet shines the winter sun upon its crown of snow
‘Neath the Rowan Tree I watched my true love grow
Softly she bloomed, I gave a smile
Softly she bloomed as the Rowan Tree stood proud
Sweet grows the Rowan Tree, its leaves the first of spring
‘Neath the Rowan Tree I heard my true love sing,
“It is a boy, our pride and joy
It is a boy” as the Rowan Tree stood proud
Sweet grows the Rowan Tree, its leaves the first of spring
‘Neath the Rowan Tree we heard our young boy sing
“Come hear my song, come see me dance
Come see me smile” as the Rowan Tree stood proud

Ye’ll No Tak The Hielans Oot O’ Me
Oh I have been to Montreal and all those towns
I have toured all the world in luxury eeoh
I have lost my shirt to some muggers in New York
And so-called friends they became my enemy eeohs
I have worked long in far off lands and travelled wide
Been to places that I had only dreamed o
But I always knew I would walk this way again
And return to the palace of my youth ee oh
My name’s MacGregor That’s right
My name’s MacDonald That’s right
MacLennan, Ratney, Fraser, Hogg, MacCulloch, Weir
My name’s MacPherson That’s right
My name’s MacKenzie That’s right
Some of the finest names that you will ever hear
From The Paps Of Jura to Mingulay shores
Oh ye’ll no tak the Hielans oot o’ me
From The Paps Of Jura to Mingulay shores
Oh ye’ll no tak the Hielans oot o’ me
I have seen some lamer things I wished had never been
I have heard some stories in my time eeoh
But the finest sound is me walkin’ on home ground
And the warm welcome home you gave to me eeoh
My name’s MacLellan That’s right
My name’s MacLaren That’s right
MacFarlane, Douglas, Balfour, Bruce, MacNicol, Nairn
My name’s MacAulay That’s right
My name’s MacCallum That’s right
Some of the finest names that you will ever hear
From The Paps Of Jura to Mingulay shores
Oh ye’ll no tak the Hielans oot o’ me
From The Paps Of Jura to Mingulay shores
Oh ye’ll no tak the Hielans oot o’ me
My name’s MacMillan That’s right
My name’s MacDowell That’s right
MacKinnock, Munro, Barclay, Ramsey, MacIntyre
My name’s MacDougal That’s right
My name’s MacCalman That’s right
To those I’ve missed accept sincere apologies
From The Paps Of Jura to Mingulay shores
Oh ye’ll no tak the Hielans oot o’ me
From The Paps Of Jura to Mingulay shores
Oh ye’ll no tak the Hielans oot o’ me
