song—out over the forth(1/1)

song—out over the forth

out over the forth, i look to the north;

but what is the north and its highlands to me?

the south nor the east gie ease to my breast,

the far foreign land, or the wide rolling sea.

but i look to the west when i gae to rest,

that happy my dreams and my slumbers may be;

for far in the west lives he i loe best,

the man that is dear to my babie and me.
