Lyrics:
A Highland lad my love was born,
The Lowland laws he held in scorn;
But he still was faithfu' to his clan,
My gallant braw John Highlandman.
chorus: Sing hey my braw John Highlandman!
Sing ho my braw John Highlandman!
There's no a lad in a' the lan',
Was match for my John Highlandman.
Wi' his philabeg and his tartan plaid,
An' his gude claymore by his side;
The ladies' hearts he did trepan,
My gallant braw John Highlandman.
chorus
They banished him beyond the sea,
But ere the bud was on the tree,
Adown my cheeks the pearlies ran,
Embracing my John Highlandman.
chorus
But oh! they catch'd him at the last,
And bound him in a dungeon fast,
My curse upon them every wan,
They've hanged my braw John Highlandman.
(the melody of the chorus is whistled as a haunting solo to finish the piece).
