When with danger surrounded, for death I refign'd,
The thoughts of my jewel was still my mind;
In the midst of hot battles my grief was for you,
When I thought to lie there with my bonnet so blue.
The thoughts of my jewel was still my mind;
In the midst of hot battles my grief was for you,
When I thought to lie there with my bonnet so blue.

I am chaste, true, and loyal, thy joys to renew,
I'll still wear my plaid and my bonnet so blue.

We fought for our King, our country & state,
Por to keep our plaids, because they are new,
That the Scotch may for ever wear bonnets so blue.

That lately has been lost,
