O send Lewie Gordon hame, 
And the lad I winna name! 
Though his back be at the wa', 
Here's to him that's far awa'. 
O hon, my Highlandman!
O my bonny Highlandman! 
Weel would I my true love ken, 
Amang ten thousand Highlandmen.

O to see his tartan trews, 
Bonnet blue, and laigh-heel'd shoes, 
Philabeg aboon his knee, 
That's the lad that I'll gang wi'. 
O hon, my Highlandman! 
O my bonny Highlandman!
Weel would I my true love ken, 
Amang ten thousand Highlandmen.

O to see this princely one, 
Seated on a royal throne! 
Disasters a' would disappear; 
Then begins the jub'lee year. 
O hon, my Highlandman!
O my bonny Highlandman! 
Weel would I my true love ken, 
Amang ten thousand Highlandmen.
