_ [Bb] Fallen lads think they [G] are fine,
[Bb] O the vain and [Eb] idly [Bb] gaudy,
How much unlike the [C] graceful men
And [G] manly looks [Bb] of my Highland [Eb] lad. _ _
[Bb] If I were free at will [Cm] to choose
[Bb] To be the wealthiest [Eb] lowland lady,
I'd touch young Donald [C] without truce
With [G] bonnet [Bb] blue and [Eb] Highland plaid. _
[Bb] O my bonny, bonny [G] Highland [Bb] laddy,
O my bonny, bonny Highland laddy,
When I was sick [Cm] and my thing died,
[Bb] He bound me in his [Eb] Highland _ plaidy.
[Bb] O'er Benthay Hill with him [G] I'll run
[Bb] And leave my long, long pen,
And at every winter's call and [C] summer's sun
[Bb] He'll [G] screen me in [Bb] his [Eb] Highland plaidy.
[Bb] A painted room, a silken bed,
On trees of lowland [Eb] [Bb] lift and lady,
That I can [Gm] kiss and [C] be as glad
[Bb] Behind [G] a bush [Bb] in his [Eb] Highland _ plaidy.

[Bb] Than that his love grew true
And steady like mighty hem which ne'er [C] shall mend
[Bb] While [G] heaven preserves [Bb] my Highland [Eb] lad. _
_ [Bb] O my bonny, bonny [C] Highland [Bb] laddy,
O my bonny, bonny Highland laddy,
When I was sick and my [Cm] thing died,
[Bb] He bound me in his [Eb] Highland plaidy.
