 Last night he press’d me to his breast,

And vow’d he’d ask my daddy, O !

O dear, to wed me he confess’d—

The Caledonian Laddie, O.

O my bonny, bonny Highland boy !

O my bonny, bonny Highland boy !

My bonny, bonny, bonny Highland boy,

The Caledonian laddie, O.

The maidens try both far and near,

To gain young Sandy over;

But a’ their arts I dinna’ fear,

He winna prove a rover :

For sure he told me frank and free,

Unknown to mam or daddy, O

He’d marry none (ah no !) but me-—

The Caledonian laddie, O.

The other day, from Dundee fair,

He brought me home a bonnet;

A cap, and ribbons for my hair ;

But mark what soon came on it,

As late at kirk we somehow stood,

In spite of mam or daddy, O,

He married me do all I could,

The Caledonian laddie, O,
