There were pipers playing in the morning,\nAnd the sound came over hill and dell,\nAs a Highland lad in his tartan plaid\nWished a lassie dear farewell.\nTho' any heart is sore, I'm bound to leave you\nFor there's fighting o'er the sea,\nBut I will remember the lassie\nThat I leave beside the Dee.\n\nHear the pipers calling Jenny mine,\nSee the boys are falling into line.\nWear the ribbon that I gave you\nJust for auld lang syne.\nThough your heart be weary do not sigh\nI shall come back deairie by and bye,\nAnd I'll kiss your tears away,\nWhen I meet you coming through the rye.\n<\/em>\nHome again once more the boys are marching,\nWhile the sounds of cheering fill the air,\nAnd the lass with joy, sees her own dear boy\n'Mongst the war worn soldiers there.\nWhen the day is done and the twilights falling,\nIn a field of waving rye,\nThey meet once again and recall there\nTender words of days gone by.\n<\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
