|: Oh where, tell me where, is your Highland laddie gone? :|
He's gone wi' streaming banners where noble deeds are done
And it's oh, in my heart I wish him safe at home

2. |: Oh where, tell me where, did your Highland laddie dwell? :|
He dwelt in Bonnie Scotland, where blooms the sweet blue bell
And it's oh, in my heart I lo'ed my laddie well

3. |: Oh what, tell me what, does your Highland laddie wear? :|
A bonnet with a lofty plume, and on his breast a plaid
And it's oh, in my heart I lo'ed my Highland lad

4. |: Oh what, tell me what, if your Highland laddie is slain? :|
Oh no, true love will be his guard and bring him safe again
For it's oh, my heart would break if my Highland lad were slain
