Enlist bonnie laddie an' come awa wi me

To markets and fairs some recruits for to catch
An' a' that they listed was forty an' twa
So list bonnie laddie an' come awa

Through Gibraltar to France and Spain

If your horses wis to fleg an' your ousen wis to rin

This auld fairmer thinks ye'll never tire
For it's a slavery job of low degree
So list bonnie laddie an' come awa wi me.

Enlist bonnie laddie an' come awa wi me

Ye'll easily get rid o' that ill-spun yarn

So list bonnie laddie an' come awa
For it's over the mountains, and over the main
Through Gibraltar to France and Spain
