When last we ranged the banks of Tay,
The ring he showed to me,
And bade me name the bridal day,
Then happy would he be.
I ken the youth will aye prove kind,
Nae mair my mither will I mind,
Mess John to me shall quickly bind
Young Donald of Dundee.
The Highland Laddie.
The Lawland lads think they are fine,
But O! they're vain and idly gaudy;
How much unlike the graceful mien,
And manly looks of my Highland laddie.
O my bonnie Highland laddie,
My handsome, charming Highland laddie,
May heaven still guard, and love reward,
The Lawland lass and her Highland laddi
If I were free at will to choose,
To be the wealthiest Lawland lady,
I'd tak young Donald without trews,
With bonnet blue and belted plaidie.
O my bonnie &c.
