(Traditional)

Farewell to Lochaber,

Farewell to my Jean

Where heartsome with
her I have many days been

For Lochaber no
more

Lochaber no more

We'll maybe
return to Lochaber no more

These tears that
I shed

They are all for my dear

And no
for the dangers attending on wier

Tho' born
on rough seas

To a far distant shore

Maybe to return to Lochaber no more

Tho'
hurricanes rise

Tho' rise every wind

No tempest can equal the storm in my mind

Tho' loudest of thunders

On louder waves
roar

There's nothing like leaving my love on
that shore

To leave thee behind me

My
heart is so pained

But by ease that's
inglorious no fame can be gained

And beauty
and love's

The reward of the brave

And
I maun deserve it before I can crave

The
glory, my Jeannie,

Maun plead my excuse

Since honour commands me, how can I refuse

Without it I ne'er

Can have merit for
thee

And losing thy favour I'd better not
be

I go then, my lass,

To win honour
and fame

And if I should chance to come
glorious home,

I'll bring a heart to
thee

With love running o'er

And then
I'll leave the and Lochaber no more
