5 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.
