I swear and vow by moon and stars, And sun that shines so clearly, If I had twenty thousand lives, I'd die as aft for Charlie. THE HIGHLAND LADDIE The bonniest lad that e'er I saw, Bonnie laddie, Highland laddie, Wore a plaid and was fu' braw, [gaily dressed] Bonnie Highland laddie. On his head a bonnet blue, Bonnie laddie, Highland laddie, His royal heart was firm and true, Bonnie Highland laddie. Trumpets sound and cannons roar, Bonnie lassie, Lawland lassie, And a' the hills wi' echoes roar, Bonnie Lawland lassie. Glory, Honour, now invite, Bonnie lassie, Lawland lassie, For Freedom and my King to fight, Bonnie Lawland lassie. The sun a backward course shall take, Bonnie laddie, Highland laddie, Ere aught thy manly courage shake, Bonnie Highland laddie. Go, for yoursel procure renown, Bonnie laddie, Highland laddie, And for your lawful King his crown, Bonnie Highland laddie! BANNOCKS O' BARLEY Bannocks o' bear meal, [Cakes, barley] Bannocks o' barley; Here's to the Highlandman's Bannocks o' barley. Wha in a brulzie [broil] Will first cry a parley? Never the lads wi' The bannocks o' barley. Bannocks o' bear meal, Bannocks o' barley; Here's to the lads wi' The bannocks o' barley; Wha in his wae-days [woful-] Were loyal to Charlie? Wha but the lads wi' The bannocks o' barley. KENMURE'S ON AND AWA O, Kenmure's on and awa, Willie! O, Kenmure's on and awa! And Kenmure's lord's the bravest lord That ever Galloway saw. Success to Kenmure's band, Willie! Success to Kenmure's band; There's no a heart that fears a Whig That rides by Kenmure's hand. Here's Kenmure's health in wine, Willie! Here's Kenmure's health in wine; There ne'er was a coward o' Kenmure's blude, [blood] Nor yet o' Gordon's line. O, Kenmure's lads are men, Willie! O, Kenmure's lads are men; Their hearts and swords are metal true, And that their faes shall ken. They'll live or die wi' fame, Willie! They'll live or die wi' fame; But soon, wi' sounding victorie, May Kenmure's lord come hame! Her
