T [C]'was there I met a _ laddy gay [G] of honour [Em] _ and [Am] _
beloved,
[D] _ _ [G] And from him, sure, [F#] I asked [C] the way [G] to _ [C] famous New [G] York town.
_ _ What do you think, _ young girl, he [C] said, _ [G] come _ [C] along [G] with me,
_ _ _ We'll talk _ about [C] old Highland _ _ _ [G] here in [Em] _ another [Am] _
day.

_ _ _ Your _ castles and [C] your _ palaces, _ [G] they look [Em] like prison [Am] _
