The bonniest lad that e'er I saw—
Bonie laddie, Highland laddie ; Wore a plaid and was fu' braw—
Bonie Highland laddie I On his head a bonnet blue—
Bonie laddie, Highland laddie; His royal heart was firm and true—
Bonie Highland laddie!
' Trumpets sound and cannons roar, Bonie lassie, Lawland lassie—
And a' the hills vvi' echoes roar, Bonie Lawland lassie ! |
Glory, honor, now invite— Bonie lassie, Lawland lassie ;
For freedom and my King to fight, Bonie Lawland lassie !'
'Thesun a back ward courseshall take,
Bonie laddie, Highland laddie ; Ere ought thy manly courage shake;
Bonie Highland laddie! Go, for yoursel' procure renown,
Bonie laddie, Highland laddie, And for your lawful king his crown,
Bonie Highland laddie!' |

By yon castle wa' at the close of the day, I heard a man sing, tho' his head it was grey, And as he was singing, the tears doon came, ' There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame.' |
