I will go, I will go When the fighting is over Tae the land of MacLeod I left to be a soldier I will go, I will go The king's son came along, he called us all together Saying, Brave Highland men, you will fight for my father I will go, I will go I've a buckle tae my belt, a sword in my scabbard A red coat on my back and a shilling in my pocket I will go, I will go When they put us all on board the lassies were singing The tears came to their eyes when they heard the bells a-ringing I will go, I will go When we landed on that shore and saw the foreign heather we We knew some would die and lie there forever I will go, I will go When we came back through the glen winter was turning Our families in the snow and our homes they were burning I will go, I will go
