[00:04.64]There stands three trumpeters on yon hill
[00:09.23]Blaw blaw blaw winds blaw
[00:13.12]And blaw their trumpets sae loud and shrill
[00:17.39]And the wind blaws my plaid awa'
[00:25.23]Gin I'd his trumpet in my kist
[00:29.64]Blaw blaw blaw winds blaw
[00:33.38]And were in the lad's arms that I like best

[01:45.56]Ye maun drt't on yon hawthorn
[01:49.57]Blaw blaw blaw winds blaw
