Oh where, tell me where, has your Highland laddie gone?
Oh where, tell me where, has your Highland laddie gone?
He's gone wi' streaming banners where noble deeds are done
And it's oh, in my heart that I wish him safe at home
Oh where, tell me where, did your Highland laddie dwell?
Oh where, tell me where, did your Highland laddie dwell?
He dwelt in bonny Scotland, where grows a sweet blue bell
And it's oh, in my heart that I lo'ed my laddie well
Oh where, tell me where, has your Highland laddie gone?
Oh where, tell me where, has your Highland laddie gone?
Oh what, tell me what, did your Highland laddie wear?
Oh what, tell me what, did your Highland laddie wear?
His bonnet's o' the Saxon green, and on his breast a plaid
And it's oh, in my heart that I lo'ed my Highland lad
Oh where, tell me where, has your Highland laddie gone?
Oh where, tell me where, has your Highland laddie gone?
Oh what, tell me what, if your Highland lad is slain?
Oh what, tell me what, if your Highland lad 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
Oh where, tell me where, has your Highland laddie gone?
Oh where, tell me where, has your Highland laddie gone?
He's gone wi' streaming banners where noble deeds are done
And it's oh, in my heart that I wish him safe at home
