Bonie Laddie, Highland Laddie
I Hae been at Crookieden,
My bonie laddie, Highland laddie,
Viewing Willie and his men,
My bonie laddie, Highland laddie.
There our faes that brunt and slew,
My bonie laddie, Highland laddie,
There, at last, they get their due,
My bonie laddie, Highland laddie.
Satan sits in his black neuk,
My bonie laddie, Highland laddie,
Breaking sticks to roast the Duke,
My bonie laddie, Highland laddie,
The bloody monster gae a yell,
My bonie laddie, Highland laddie.
And loud the laugh gaed round a' hell
My bonie laddie, Highland laddie.
