JAMIE RAEBURN - OSSIAN
[Verse]
Oh, my Ename is Jamie RC#maeburn, frae GlasgAow town I cEame
My Aplace and habiC#mtation, I'm fAorced to leave with sBhame
From my Aplace and habiEtation, I nAow maun gang aBwa'
Far fArae the bonnie C#mhills and Edales   Aof CaleBdonEia
It was Eearly in the C#mmorning, beAfore the break of Eday
We were Awakened by the C#mturnkey, who Aunto us did sBay
"AriAse ye hapless Econvicts, arAise ye ain and Ba'
This Ais the day ye C#mare to sEtray   Afrae CaledBoniEa"
Oh we aEll arose, put C#mon our clothes, our hAearts were filled with Egrief
Our fAriends that stood C#maround the coach could Agrant us no relBief
Our Aparents, wives and Esweethearts, their Ahearts were broke in Btwa'
To Asee us leave the C#mhills and Edales   Aof CaledBoniEa

FareEwell my ageing C#mmother, I'm Avexed for what I've Edone
I Ahope none will cast C#mup to you, the Arace that I have Brun
I Ahope God will proEtect you when AI am far awaB'
Far fArae the bonnie C#mhills and Edales   Aof CaledBoniEa
FareEwell, my aged C#mfaither, you Aare the best of Emen
And Alikewise my own C#msweetheart, it's ACatherine is her Bname
Nae Amair we'll walk by EClyde's clear stream nor Aby the BroomielBaw 
For AI maun leave the C#mhills and Edales   Aof CaledBoniEa

JAMIE RAEBURN - OSSIAN

[Verse]

E C#m A E

Oh, my name is Jamie Raeburn, frae Glasgow town I came

A C#m A B

My place and habitation, I'm forced to leave with shame

A E A B

From my place and habitation, I now maun gang awa'

A C#m E A B E

Far frae the bonnie hills and dales of Caledonia

E C#m A E

It was early in the morning, before the break of day

A C#m A B

We were wakened by the turnkey, who unto us did say

A E A B

"Arise ye hapless convicts, arise ye ain and a'

A C#m E A B E

This is the day ye are to stray frae Caledonia"

E C#m A E

Oh we all arose, put on our clothes, our hearts were filled with grief

A C#m A B

Our friends that stood around the coach could grant us no relief

A E A B

Our parents, wives and sweethearts, their hearts were broke in twa'

A C#m E A B E

To see us leave the hills and dales of Caledonia

[Instrumental]

Farewell my ageing mother, I'm vexed for what I've done

A C#m A B

I hope none will cast up to you, the race that I have run

A E A B

I hope God will protect you when I am far awa'

A C#m E A B E

Far frae the bonnie hills and dales of Caledonia

E C#m A E

Farewell, my aged faither, you are the best of men

A C#m A B

And likewise my own sweetheart, it's Catherine is her name

Nae mair we'll walk by Clyde's clear stream nor by the Broomielaw

For I maun leave the hills and dales of Caledonia
