Where the mighty Grey King pales
And the Once and Future King sets sail
Bonnie Heiland Laddie
Were you ever in Old Scotland
Where in Jane’s embrace, fair Tam-Lin pinned
Had forced the Fairy Queen to rescind

When he turns up, he'll get quite a row
Me no good scoundrel of a husband, Joe
Took to sea a year ago

And what of that narsty dragon?
Who did appear when ye were braggin'
and drinking deep from yer flaggon!
Bonnie Heiland Laddie!
