Royal Charlie's now awa, <br />Safely owre the friendly main; <br />Mony a heart will break in twa, <br />Should he ne'er come back again. <br />Will you no come back again? <br />Will you no come back again? <br />Better lo'ed you'll never be, <br />And will you no come back again? <br /> <br />Mony a traitor 'mang the isles <br />Brak the band o' nature's law; <br />Mony a traitor, wi' his wiles, <br />Sought to wear his life awa. <br />Will he no come back again? <br />Will he no come back again? <br />Better lo'ed he'll never be, <br />And will he no come back again? <br /> <br />The hills he trode were a' his ain, <br />And bed beneath the birken tree; <br />The bush that hid him on the plain, <br />There's none on earth can claim but he. <br />Will he no come back again? <br />Will he no come back again? <br />Better lo'ed he'll never be, <br />And will he no come back again? <br /> <br />Whene'er I hear the blackbird sing, <br />Unto the e'ening sinking down, <br />Or merl that makes the woods to ring, <br />To me they hae nae ither soun', <br />Than, Will he no come back again? <br />Will he no come back again? <br />Better lo'ed he'll never be, <br />And will he no come back again? <br /> <br />Mony a gallant sodger fought, <br />Mony a gallant chief did fa'; <br />Death itself were dearly bought, <br />A' for Scotland's king and law. <br />Will he no come back again? <br />Will he no come back again? <br />Better lo'ed he'll never be, <br />And will he no come back again? <br /> <br />Sweet the lav'rock's note and lang, <br />Lilting wildly up the glen; <br />And aye the o'erword o' the sang <br />Is "Will he no come back again?" <br />Will he no come back again? <br />Will he no come back again? <br />Better lo'ed he'll never be, <br />And will he no come back again?<br /><br />Anonymous<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/will-he-no-come-back-again/
