Hieland Laddie - Szanty

Have you ever been Quebec?           G C G
Hieland laddie, lowland laddie!      D
Launching timber on the deck!        G C G
Me huntin’ hieland laddie!           e D e

Where have you been all the day?
Where have you been all the day?

I joined the ship and went a-sailing
Shipped for month and went a- whalin’

Way! Hey! ‘n’ up she goes!             C G D G
Hieland laddie, lowland laddie!        D
Way!Hey! Your hills and toes,          C G D G
Me hunti’ hieland laddie!              e D e

Shipped for months on a Dundee whaler,
Shipped for months, as a whaling sailor!

Bound away to Iceland cold,
Found much ice, but not much gold.

Greenland is the cold country,
Not a place for you and me.

I’ll be glad, when I get hame,
I’ll give up this whalin’ games.

Hieland laddie went a- sailing!
Hieland laddie went a- whaling!
