- in Glasow I was born.
- From my place of habitation
- I'm forced to leave at dawn.

- It was early on one morning,
- just by the break of day.
- The turnkey he came to us,
- and unto us did say.
- "Arise you hapless convicts,
- arise you one and all,
- This is the day you are to stray,
- from Caledonia."
-
- We all that rose, put on our clothes,
- our hearts were full of grief.
- Our friends who stood around the coach,
- could grant us no reprive.
- Our parents, wives and sweethearts too,
- their hearts were broke in twa,
- To see us leave the hills and dales,
- of Caledonia.
-
- Farewell my dearest mother,
- give vex for what I've done. <-- I think I have this line wrong,
- I hope none cast up to you, but for the life of me I can't
- the race that I have run. figure it out.
- I hope God will protect you,
- when I am far awa,
- Far frae the bonnie hills and dales,
- of Caledonia.
-
- Farewell my honest faether,
- you were the best of men.
- And likewise mine sweetheart,
- yes Catherine is her name.
- No more we'll walk by Clyde's clear stream,
- nor by the bromielough, <--- sp?
- For I must leave the hills and dales,
- of Caledonia.
-
- My name is Jamie Raeburn,
- in Glasgow I was born.

- of Caledonia.
