For her 111 trace a distant shore.
That Indian wealth may lustre throw
Around my Highland lassie, O.

She has my heart, she has my hand.
By sacred truth and honor's band!
'Till the mortal stroke shall lay me low,
I'm thine my highland lassie, O.
Farewell, the glen sae bushy, O,
Farewell, the plain sae rashy, O?
To other lands I now must go
To sing my Highland lassie, O.
