1. As I came o'er the Cairney Mount
An' doon anang the bloomin' heather
The Hielan' laddie drew his dirk
And sheathed it in my wanton leather
cho: Oh my bonnie Hielan' laddie
Ma handsome bonnie Heilan' laddie
When I'm sick an like tae dee
He'll row me in his tartan plaidee
|
2. Wi me he played his warlike pranks
An on me boldly did adventure
He did attack me on baith flanks
an pushed me firecely in the center
3. A furious ficht we did maintain
Wi equal courage an desire
Although he charged me three tae one
I stood ma ground an took his fire
