Andy Kim - I Mourn For The Highlands lyrics
I mourn for the Highlands, now drear and forsaken
 The lands of my fathers the gallant and brave
 To make room for the sportsmen, their lands were all taken
 And they had to seek out new homes far away
 Oh shame on the tyrants who brought desolation
 Who banished the brave and put sheep in their place
 Where once smiled the gardens rank weeds in their station
 And deer are preferred to the leal-hearted braves
 Oh where are the parents and bairns yonder rovin
 The scene o' their gladness is far o'er the mainAndy Kim - I Mourn For The Highlands - http://motolyrics.com/andy-kim/i-mourn-for-the-highlands-lyrics.html
 No blithe-hearted milk-maid now cheers at the gloaming
 The herd-boy no longer seen on the plain
 But the lark is still soaring; she sings in her glory
 With no one to listen her sweet morning lay
 The clansmen are gone, but their deeds live in story
 Like chaff in the wind, they were borne far away
 This may actually be "The Highland Clearances" (which it's obviously
 About) from Silly Wizard's So Many Partings -- but I only have it on
 Vinyl and my turntable's dead.
