O where is your Highland Laddie gone?
He's gone to fight the French
for King George upon the throne
And it's o 'er in my heart
He's gone to fight the French
for King George upon the throne,
did your Highland laddie dwell,
He dwelt in Mary, Scotland,
at the sign of the blue bell,
And it's oh, in my heart,
He dwelt in Mary, Scotland,
at the sign of the blue bell,
And it's all in my heart,
In what clothes, in what clothes
is your highland laddie clad?
In what clothes, in what clothes
is your Highland laddie clad?
His bonnet of the Saxon green
and his waistcoat of the plaid
And it's oh, in my heart,
His bonnet of the Saxon green,
and his waistcoat of the plaid,
And it's all in my heart,
that your Highland lad should die,
that your Highland lad should die
The backpipes should play over him
and I'd set me down and cry
That it's all in my heart,
and I'd sit me down and cry
