The Blue Bells Of Scotland

A field of beautiful Blue Bells

Ballachulish Scotland

O where, and O where is Your Highland laddie gone?

O where, and O where is your Highland laddie gone?

He's gone to fight the foe for King George upon the throne;

And its oh! in my heart; I wish him safe at home!

O where, and O where, does your Highland laddie dwell?

O where, and O where, does your Highland laddie dwell?

He dwelt in merry Scotland at the sign of the Blue Bell;

And it's oh! my heart; I love my laddie well.

Suppose, and suppose that your Highland laddie should die?

Suppose, and suppose that your Highland laddie should die?

The bagpipes shall play o'er him, and I'd lay me down and cry;

But it's oh! in my heart, I wish he may not die.
