Fan first he cam' tae Kilbogie toon Wi' his wee short coat and his tartan plaidie First fan he cam' his bonnie lassie tae see She lay in her bed 'til the breakfast was ready
She said she __ oot into the fields Oot into the fields along wi' her daddy But fine kent he by __ hand She lay in her bed 'til the breakfast was ready
Oh fan the breakfast was laid oot It was laid oot and gotten ready Up spake her mither untae her "Hae nothin' tae dae wi' a Hielan' laddie"
So they baith gaed oot tae tak' a walk Tae tak' a walk 'til the dinner was ready He heisted her up on his high horse's back An' she's far far awa' frae her hame in Kilbogie
Fan it's first tae the Heilan's they cam' There was nothin' there fittin' for a lady There was naebody there tae welcome her hame But an' auld cankered carl and an auld doited wifey
Well, the teen, he ca'd her Lawlan Jean An' the tither, she ca'd her Lawlan Jennie But she's ca'd them a far better thing It's ma' Heilan daddy an' ma' Heilan mamie
Oh fan at last tae the Hielan's they cam' There was nothin' there fittin' for a lady Nothin' there tae lay doon upon But a wee pickle heather an' his tartan plaidie
"In my faither's hoose there's blankets and sheets An' they're all laid oot and gotten ready Very, very angry wad he be Tae see me lyin' here on yer tartan plaidie"
"In the Hielan's we've got flocks o' sheep An' they are very thick and bonnie An' ye'll get wool an' ye can spin An' mak' ye a blanket instead o' a plaidie"
"Oor sheep are guid and guid eneuch But barley rigs are better bonnie They'll stand up tae the wind and the rain Fan yer sheep, they'll be in the wintery weather"
"A carriage and horses ye will prepare" A carriage and horses was gotten ready A carriage and horses tae carry her awa' An' she's back tae her hame in Kilbogie
