I Crossed Forth, I crossed Tay, I left Dundee, and Edinborrow, I saw nothing there worth my Stay, and so I bad them all Good-morrrow. O my bonny, bonny Highland Laddie, O my bonny, bonny Highland Laddie, When I am sick and like to dye, Thou'lt row me in thy Highland Pladie. For on the Cairnamount I spy'd, in careless Dress a Highland Laddie, Who briskly said were't thou my Bride, I drew thee in my Highland Pladie, O my bonny, bonny, etc. No Butter-Box he seem'd to be, no English-Fop, no Lowland Laddie, But by his mein he was well known, to be some Gentie Highland Laddie. O my bonny, bonny, etc. His Quiver hang down by his Thigh, his Mein did shew his Bow was ready, A thousand Darts flew from his Eye, and all fell down before his Lady. O my bonny, bonny, etc. It's Silken Rooms and Pearled Beds, and laced Shoes fit for a Lady; But he can do't as wantonly, in Highland Trews and belted Plade O my bonny, bonny, etc, I will have no Commander Man, Captain, Col'nel, nor a Caddie, If all my Friends had sworn and said, I'll have none but a Highland Laddie. O my bonny, bonny. etc. But when we came to Stirling Town, he promis'd to make me a Lady, But all the Tocher that I got, he row'd me in his Highland Pladie. O my bonny, bonny Highland Laddie, O my bonny, bonny Highland Laddie, When I am sick and like to dye, He'll row me in his Highland Plaidie.
