| High up amang yon Hieland hills
|
| There lived a canny maiden
|
| She’s gone oot ane fine summer’s night
|
| For to watch all the soldiers paradin'
|
| And they looked sae braw as they marched awa'
|
| The drums, they did rattle, and the pipes, they did blaw
|
| Which caused young Mary for to weep and say
|
| «I'll follow my Hieland sodger»
|
| Ah but Mary dear, my wage, it is small
|
| And what if in battle I should fall
|
| I hae to gang hame to your Hieland hall
|
| Think nae mair on a soldier laddie
|
| And they looked sae braw as they marched awa'
|
| The drums, they did rattle, and the pipes, they did blaw
|
| Which caused young Mary for to weep and say
|
| «I'll follow my Hieland sodger»
|
| I hae twenty pounds in the store
|
| And I hae a herd 'bout ten times more
|
| I’ll gie it to the laddie I adore
|
| And follow my Hieland laddie
|
| And they looked sae braw as they marched awa'
|
| The drums, they did rattle, and the pipes, they did blaw
|
| Which caused young Mary for to weep and say
|
| «I'll follow my Hieland sodger»
