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 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 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,
