Highland laddie————
She
THE bonniest lad that e'er I saw,
Bonie laddie, highland laddie,
Wore a plaid and was fu' braw,
Bonie Highland laddie.
On his head a bonnet blue,
Bonie &c.
His royal heart was firm and true
Bonie &c.
He
Trumpets sound and cannons roar,
Bonie lassie, Lawland lassie,
And a' the hills wi' echoes roar,
Bonie Lawland lassie.
Glory, Honor, now invite
Bonie &c.
For freedom and my King to fight,
Bonie &c.
She
The sun a backward course shall take,
Bonie &c.
Ere ought thy manly courage shake;
Bonie &c.
Go, for yoursel procure renown,
Bonie &c.
And for your lawful king his crown,
Bonie Highland laddie.
