| lyric | 1. O, where tell me where, is your Highland laddie gone?
O where, tell me wehre, is your Highland laddie gone?
’He’s gone wi’ sttreaming banners, where noble deeds are done;
And it’s oh! in my heart I wish him safe at home.
2. ‘0 what, lassie, what does your Highland laddie wear ?
0what lassie, what does your Highland laddie wear ?’
‘A Scarlet coat and bonnet wi’ bonnie yellow hair,
And there’s nane in the world can wi’ my love compare.’
3. ‘0 what will you claim for your constancy to him ?
0what will you claim for your constancy to him ?’
‘I’ll claim a priest to wed us, and aclerk to say ‘Amen!’
And I’ll ne’er part again from my bonnie Highlandman.’ |
