       E              C#m         
Oh, my name is Jamie Raeburn, frae
      A          E
 Glasgow town I came
   A             C#m          A  
My place and habitation, I'm 
                  B
forced to leave with shame
        A             E          
From my place and habitation, I 
A             B
now maun gang awa'
     A              C#m       E  
Far frae the bonnie hills and 
   A        B  E
dales   of Caledonia


       E            C#m        A 
It was early in the morning, 
                E
before the break of day
        A              C#m        
We were wakened by the turnkey, 
  A            B
who unto us did say
    A             E           A  
"Arise ye hapless convicts, arise
            B
 ye ain and a'
     A             C#m     E    
This is the day ye are to stray 
A           B  E
  frae Caledonia"


       E             C#m          
Oh we all arose, put on our 
        A                      E
clothes, our hearts were filled with
 grief

     A                 C#m        
Our friends that stood around the 
            A              B
coach could grant us no relief
    A                  E          
Our parents, wives and 
        A                    B
sweethearts, their hearts were broke
 in twa'
   A                C#m       E  
To see us leave the hills and 
   A         B  E
dales   of Caledonia

    E              C#m         A 
Farewell my ageing mother, I'm 
                  E
vexed for what I've done
  A                  C#m          
I hope none will cast up to you, 
   A                B
the race that I have run
  A                E             
I hope God will protect you when 
A           B
I am far awa'
     A              C#m       E  
Far frae the bonnie hills and 
   A         B  E
dales   of Caledonia


    E             C#m          A 
Farewell, my aged faither, you 
              E
are the best of men
    A               C#m           
And likewise my own sweetheart, 
   A                B
it's Catherine is her name
    A                  E          
Nae mair we'll walk by Clyde's 
              A              B
clear stream nor by the Broomielaw
    A                C#m       E 
For I maun leave the hills and
