The bonniest lad that e'er I saw, Bonnie laddie, Highland laddie, Wore a plaid and was fu' braw, Bonny Highland laddie. On his head a bonnet blue, Bonny laddie, Highland laddie, His loyal heart was firm and true, Bonny Highland laddie.

Trumpets sound, and cannon roar, Bonny lassie, Lowland lassie ; And a’ the hills wi’ echoes roar, Bonny Lowland lassie. Glory, honour, now invite, Bonny lassie, Lowland lassie, For freedom and my king to fight, Bonny Lowland lassie.

The sun a backward course shall take, Bonny laddie, Highland laddie, Ere aught thy manly courage shake, Bonny Highland laddie. Go, for yourself procure renown, Bonny laddie, Highland laddie; And for your lawful king a crown, Bonny Highland laddie.
