Lyrics
A
highland
laddie
there
lived
o'er
the
way
, A
laddie
both
noble
, and
gallant
and
gay
,
Who
loved
a
lassie
as
noble
as he, A
bonnie
sweet
lassie--the
maid
of
Dundee
. The
lassie
had
lands
, but the
laddie
had
nane
, And
yet
to her
it
was
all
the
same
, For
dearly
she
loved
him, and
said
she
knew
This
laddie
,
dear
laddie
was
gude
and
true
.
E'er
years
or
even
months
had
fled
, This
laddie
and
lassie
were
happily
wed
;
Nae
better
wifey
e'er
lived
on the
lea
, Than
bonnie
sweet
Bessie
, the
maid
of
Dundee
! A
happier
hame
nae
mon
ever
had, Than this that
held
twa
hearts
sae
glad
, And
ne'er
did
Bessie
have
cause
to
rue
Her
wedding
this
laddie
,
sae
gude
and
true
. But
sorrow
came
to her
heart
one
day
, And her
dear
darlin
' was
taken
away
, Then
oh
!
now
sad
and
lone
was she,
Poor
bonnie
sweet
Bessie
, the
maid
of
Dundee
. And
when
in the
ground
her
darlin
' they
laid
, Her
heart
then
broke
, and she
fervently
prayed
, "
O
God
in
heaven
,
let
me
go
,
too
, And be
wi
'
my
laddie
,
sae
gude
and
trude!
