This is the complete version! The Toorie On His Bonnet VERSE 1 MacTavish was Pipe Major In the Highland Scot's Brigade And proudly led the regiment when it was on parade. He loved a highland lassie, And before he went away She sewed a little keepsake So he'd think of her each day. CHORUS 'Twas the toorie on his bonnet, The red toorie on it. His red toorie-oorie-oorie-ay - He left his kilt and sporran And off he went to war in His red toorie-oorie-oorie-ay. And when swinging into action He's the centre of attraction He's the pride of Bonnie Scotland, so they say. But what made the Gerrys run? It was not his Tommy gun, 'Twas the toorie on his bonnet, The bonnie toorie on it His red toorie-oorie-oorie-ay! VERSE 2 When he came home on furlough To his wee bit, but and ben, He met his bonnie Jeannie And went roamin' in the glen. She said to him "MacTavish" mon, If you are true to me Gie me your auld Glengarry For there's one thing I must see, CHORUS
