Highland laddie (3)/Highland Laddie
HIGHLAND LADDIE.
Oh where, tell me where, is your Highland laddie
gone?
Oh where, tell me where, is your Highland laddie
gone?
He is gone with streaming banners, where noble
deeds are done,
And its oh in my heart but I wish him safe at home
O what, tell me what, did your Highland laddie
wear?
O what, tell me what, &c.
A bonnet with a lofty plume, the gallant pledge of
war.
And a plaid across his manly breast, that soon (illegible text)
wear a star.
Oh where, tell me where, did your Highland ladd
stay?
Oh where tell me where, &c.
He dwelt beneath the Holly-tree beside the rapid
Spey,
And mony a blessing followed him the day he gaeli(illegible text)
away
Ah suppose ah suppose that some crucl cruel wound
Should pierce your Highland laddie's breast, and a
your hopes confound;
The pipes should play a cheerful strain the banne
round him fly,
And the spirit of a Highland chief should glister in
his eye.
The pipes should play a cheerful strain, the banners
round him fly,
And for his king and country with pleasure he will
die.
But I hope yet to see him in Scotlands bonny
bounds,
But I hope yet to see him, 8c.
His native land of liberty will nurse his glorious
wounds.
While wide thro' all the Highland hills his warlike
name resounds.
