Tommy Makem Galloway Hills Lyrics

I'll tak' my plaidie contented to be,
a wee bittie kilted abune my knee,
an' i'll gie my pipes another blaw,
an' i'll gang oot o'er the hills tae gallowa'.
Chorus:
oh the gallowa' hills are covered wi' broom,
wi' heather bells in bonnie bloom,
wi' heather bells an' rivers a'
an' i'll gang oot o'er the hills tae gallowa'.
For i say bonnie lassie will ye come wi' me tae share your lot in a far country
for tae share your lot when doon fa's a'
an' we'll gang oot ower the hills tae gallowa'.
Chorus
For i'll sell my rock, an' i'll sell my reel,
i'll sell my granny's spinning wheel,
i will sell them a' when doon fa's a',
an' we'll gang oot ower the hills tae gallowa'.
