Her fa la la lo ro a fa la la lay
Her fa la la lo ro a fa la la lay
Her fa la la lo ro a fa la la lay
Fa li fa lo ro a fa la la lay
There's lilt in the song i sing there's laughter and love
There tang frae the sea and blue frae heaven above
Of reason there's none and why should the be forbye
But the fire in the blood and toes and the light in the eye
Her fa la la lo ro a fa la la lay
Her fa la la lo ro a fa la la lay
Her fa la la lo ro a fa la la lay
Fa li fa lo ro a fa la la lay
The heather's ablaze with bloom the myrtle is sweet
There's song in the air the road's a song at our feet
So step it along as light as the bird on the wing
And stepping along let's join our voices and sing
Her fa la la lo ro a fa la la lay
Her fa la la lo ro a fa la la lay
Her fa la la lo ro a fa la la lay
Fa li fa lo ro a fa la la lay
And whether the blood be highland or lowland or no
And whether the hue be white or black as the sloe
Of kith and of kin we're one be it right be it wrong
If only our hearts be true to the lilt of the song
Her fa la la lo ro a fa la la lay
Her fa la la lo ro a fa la la lay
Her fa la la lo ro a fa la la lay
Fa li fa lo ro a fa la la lay
