OUT OVER THE FORTH

  • Neil Macgillivray
  • Jul 6, 2017

This is another song that Robert Burns collected and improved but little is known about it.

“Out over the Forth, I look to the North; But what is the north and its Highlands to me? The south nor the east gie ease to my breast, The far foreign land, or the wide rolling sea. But I look to the west when I gae to rest, That happy my dreams and my slumbers may be; For far in the west lives he I loe best, The man that is dear to my babie and me.”
