||:0, where! and O, where! is your Highland laddie gone?:|| He's gone to fight the foe for King George upon the throne; And it's O! in my heart how I wish him safe at home!
B:0, where! and O, where! does your Highland laddie dwell?: || He dwelt in merry Scotland at the sign of the Blue Bell, And it's O! in my heart that I love my laddie well!
||:What clothes, in what clothes is your Highland lad die clad?:|| His bonnet's Saxon green, and his waistcoat of the plaid; And it's OI in my heart that I love my Highland lad.
||:Suppose, and suppose, that your highland lad should die?: || The bagpipes shall play over him, I'd lay me down and cry; And it's O! in my heart that I wish he may not die.
