C 
You may talk about your Lancers
or the Irish Fusiliers,
F 
The Aberdeen Militia
C 
G 
or the Dublin Volunteers,
F 
Or any other regiment
G 
C 
that's flying far away,
Come give to me the tartan
G 
of the gallon forty -two.
C 
Strolling through the green field
F 
C 
on a summer day,
Watching all the country girls
G 
forking up the hay,
F 
I really was delighted,
C 
G 
but he stole my heart awhile
C 
He left me for the tartan
G 
C 
of the gallon forty -twa
Oh, I never shall forget
the day his regiment marched past
F 
C 
The pipes they played a lively tune,
G 
but my heart was aghast
F 
He turned around and smiled farewell,
G 
C 
and then from far awhile
I heard the drums and peeper -ups
G 
C 
of the gallon forty -t wa
Strolling through the green field
F 
on a summer day
C 
Watching all the country girls
G 
forking up the hay
F 
I really was delighted
C 
G 
but he stole my heart awhile
C 
He left me for the tartan
G 
C 
of the gallon forty -two
Once again I heard the music
of the people up from afar
F 
The trump, trump, trump
weary men
G 
returning from the war
Am 
F 
And as they nearer drew
G 
C 
I brushed the woeful tear awhile
For me and my brawladdy
G 
C 
of the gallon forty -twa
Strollin' through the green field
F 
C 
on a summer day
Watchin' all the country girls
G 
workin' up the hay
F 
I really was delighted
C 
G 
but he stole my heart awhile
C 
He left me for the tartan
G 
C 
of the gallon forty -twa
