11It's up in the highlands, along the sweet Tay, Hie upon the Highlands, and laigh upon the Tay,
22Bonnie James Campbell rode many a day; Bonnie George Campbell rode, out on a day.
33He saddled, he bridled, and gallant rode he, He saddled, he bridled, and gallant rode he,
44And home came his good horse but never came he. And hame came his guid horse, but never cam he.

66Out came his old mother a-crying full sair, Out cam his mother, dear, greeting fu sair,
77Out came his bonny bride, tearing her hair, And out cam his bonnie bryde, riving her hair.
88'My meadow lies green and my corn is unshorn "The meadow lies green the corn is unshorn
99But bonny James Campbell will never return'. But bonnie George Campbell will never return.

1111Saddled and bridled and booted rode he, Saddled and bridled and booted rode he,
1212A plume in his helmet, a sword at his knee, A plume in his helment, a sword at his knee.
1313Empty his saddle all bloody to see, but toom cam his saddle, all bloody to see
1414O home came his good horse, but never came he. Oh, hame cam his guid horse, but never cam he.
