Bannocks o' bear meal (Burns) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


       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 bannocks o' barley. -
       Bannocks o' bear meal...

 Wha, in his wae days, were loyal to Charlie?
 Wha but the lads wi' the bannocks o' Barley. -
       Bannocks o' bear meal...
