SONGS AND POEMS.
A purse, and sword, hung on bis belt,
Equip my handsome Highland Laddie.
O ! my bonny Highland Lad, &c.
Hence ermine, gauds, and silk attire,
That grace the Lowland Eeau and Lady .5
The Highland garb, which all admire,
Adorns by bonny Highland Laddie.
! my bonny Higlil and Lad, &c.
He courts with such enchanting grace,
His kiss so sweet, his love so steady ;
And O ! the witching soft embrace
Of my kind, blooming Highland Laddie.
O \ my- bonny Highland Lad, Sec.
He said his heart would never range,
And 1 confess he ne'er was giddy,;
And mine I feel can never change
To my dear, charming Highland Laddie,
O ! my bonny Highland Lad, &c.
When war's alarms call to the field
My brave undaunted Highland Laddie,
His courage prompt disdains to yield,
Till fields with vanquish'd foes are bloody*
O ! my bonny Highland Lad, &c.
