Following Saturday's post, it was pointed out to me that there's another song which uses the same tune as "The Bluebell of Scotland." and this is it.


Where is your Highland Laddie gone?

Oh where, tell me where, is your Highland laddie gone? 
Oh where, tell me where, is your Highland laddie gone? 
He's gone wi' streaming banners where noble deeds are done, 
And it's oh, in my heart I wish him safe at home.

Oh where, tell me where, did your Highland laddie dwell? 
Oh where, tell me where, did your Highland laddie dwell? 
He dwelt in Bonnie Scotland, where blooms the sweet blue bell, 
And it's oh, in my heart I lo'ed my laddie well.

Oh what, tell me what, does your Highland laddie wear? 
Oh what, tell me what, does your Highland laddie wear? 
A bonnet with a lofty plume, and on his breast a plaid, 
And it's oh, in my heart I lo'ed my Highland lad.

Oh what, tell me what, if your Highland laddie is slain? 
Oh what, tell me what, if your Highland laddie is slain? 
Oh no, true love will be his guard and bring him safe again, 
For it's oh, my heart would break if my Highland lad were slain.

PLUS THE BONUS
