In what clothes, in what clothes is your Highland
laddie clad?
His bonnet's of the Saxon green, his waistcoat's of
the plaid ;
And it's oh, in my heart, I love my Highland lad.
Suppose, and suppose that your Highland lad should
die?
The bag-pipes should play over him, I'd sit me down
and cry ;
And it's oh, in my heart, I wish he may not die.
