Highland Laddie.

“Were ye at Drummossie moor,
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie?
Saw ye the Duke the clans o'erpower,
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie?”
“Yes, I have seen that fatal fray,
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie;
And my heart bleeds from day to day,
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie.
Many a lord of high degree,
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie,
Will never more their mountains see,
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie;
Many a chief of birth and fame,
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie,
Are hunted down like savage game,
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie.
What could the remnant do but yield,
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie?
A generous chief twice gains the field,
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie.
Posterity will ne'er us blame,
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie;
But brand with blood the Brunswick name,
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie.
Oh may it prove for Scotland's good!
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie;
But why so drench our glens with blood?
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie.
Duke William nam'd, or yonder moor,
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie,
Will fire our blood for evermore,
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie.
