Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
O where, and O where is your Highland laddie gone?
O 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 oh! in my heart, how I wish him safe at home!
VERSE 2
O where, and O where does your Highland laddie dwell?
O where, and O where does your Highland laddie dwell?
He dwelt in merry Scotland at the sign of the Blue Bell;
And it's oh! in my heart that I love my laddie well.
VERSE 3
O what, tell me what does your Highland laddie wear?
O what, tell me what does your Highland laddie wear?
A bonnet with a lofty plume, and on his breast a plaid
And it's oh! in my heart that I love my Highland lad.
VERSE 4
O what, tell me what if your Highland lad be slain?
O what, tell me what if your Highland lad be slain?
O no, true love will be his guard and bring him safe again
For it's oh! my heart would break if my Highland lad were slain.
