"Up Among The Heather" lyrics

"Up Among The Heather"

Up among the heather at the hill o' Bennachie
It was there I had a bonny wee lass sitting on my knee
A bungbee stung me well above the knee
We rested down together on the hill o' Bennachie

Said I me bonny wee lassie are ya going to spend the day
Up amongst the heather on the hill o' Bennachie
Where all the lads and lassies they're having a sobree
Up among the heather on the hill o' Bennachie
Up among the heather on the hill o' Bennachie
It was there I had a bonny wee lass sitting on my knee
A bungbee stung me well above the knee
We rested down together on the hill o' Bennachie

Said I me bonny wee lassie please take my advice
Don't ever let a soldier laddie love you more than twice
For all the time you do, he's a fixing how to plan
How to get a wee-be rattle at your old tin can

Up among the heather on the hill o' Bennachie
It was there I had a bonny wee lass sitting on my knee
A bungbee stung me well above the knee
We rested down together on the hill o' Bennachie
