BONNIE HIELAN' LADDIE.
Will ye gang to Inverness,
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie?
There ye 'll see the Hielan' dress,
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie.
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie?
There ye 'll see the Hielan' dress,
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie.
Philabeg and bonnet blue,
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie,
For the lad that wears the trew,
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie.
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie,
For the lad that wears the trew,
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie.
Geordie sits in Charlie's chair,
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie;
Had I my will he 'd no' sit there,
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie.
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie;
Had I my will he 'd no' sit there,
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie.
Ne'er reflect on sorrows past,
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie,
Charlie will be king at last,
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie.
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie,
Charlie will be king at last,
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie.
An' tho' now our sky may lower,
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie,
It 's only like an April shower,
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie.
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie,
It 's only like an April shower,
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie.
Time an' tide come roun' to a',
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie,
An' upstart pride will get a fa',
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie.
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie,
An' upstart pride will get a fa',
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie.
Keep up your heart for Charlie's fight,
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie;
An' come what may, ye 've done what 's right,
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie.
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie;
An' come what may, ye 've done what 's right,
Bonnie laddie, Hielan' laddie.
