Poem by Robert Burns

Bannocks o’ Barley

BANNOCKS o’ bear meal,
  Bannocks o’ barley;
Here’s to the Highlandman’s
  Bannocks o’ barley.
Wha in a brulzie
  Will first cry a parley?
Never the lads wi’
  The bannooks o’ barley.

Bannocks o’ bear meal,
  Bannocks o’ barley;
Here’s to the lads wi’
  The bannocks o’ barley;
Wha in his wae-days
  Were loyal to Charlie?
Wha but the lads wi’
  The bannocks o’ barley.

1. Sleep’st Thou, or Wak’st Thou
2. Simmer’s a Pleasant Time
3. It Is Na, Jean, Thy Bonnie Face
4. The Bonnie Wee Thing
5. Castle Gordon
