For they looked sae neat as they mairched away,
the drums they do beat and the pipes they do play,
which maks pair Mary tae sigh and say,
"they're awa' wi' my bonny heilan' sojer".

"Noo I ha'e twenty pound in store,
and I ha'e a hairt worth twenty times o'er
and I'll gi'e it tae the laddie that I adore,
I'm ga'in tae follow up my bonny heilan' sojer".

"O, lassie, lassie yir fortune is but sma',
and what if in some foreign battle I should fa',
when yir far, far awa' frae yir daddie and a'?
be adviséd by a heilan' sojer".

And, from the '60's,:

Well, send me please to Viet Nam
I'm a gung-ho fightin' sojer
I've lived my life for nineteen years
And I don't want to get any older
There's a lot of men over there right now
dying for this great land we've got
And as for the vietnamese that die
They don't matter a helluva lot.
