HIGHLAND LADDIE.

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 laddle, highland laddie,
His loyal heart was fire and true,
Bonie highland laddie.

Trumpets sound and cannons roar,
Bonie lassie, Lowland lassie,
And a' the hills wi' echoes roar,
Bonie Lowland lassie.
Glory honour, now invite,
Bonie lassie, lowland lassie,
For freedom and my King to fight,
Bonie Lowland lassie.

The sun a backward course shall take,
Bonie laddie, highland laddie,
Ere ought thy many courage shake,
Bonie Highland laddie,
Go, for yourself procure renown,
Bonie laddie, highland laddie,
And for your lawful King his crown,
Bonie highland laddie.

FINIS.
