Lyrics:

My father married me o'er young
To an old carle, bald and dumb
His love was done and mine new sprung
So I'll fly to the hills wi' my laddie-o

Come, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Hey, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Come, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Mount an' I'll gang wi' ye-o

I wid'll nae bide the peat stack
So wid I my old kailyard
So wid I my auld bald laird
And I'll fly to the hills wi' my laddie-o

Come, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Hey, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Come, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Mount an' I'll gang wi' ye-o

When the old carle lay asleep
Out of the bed sheets would did creep
And the keys of the cabin she did keep
She's flown to the hills wi' her laddie-o

Come, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Hey, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Come, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Mount an' I'll gang wi' ye-o

Then the old carle woke in the hall
But the sheets were cold an' she was awa'
With the wecht of herself in gold an' a'
She's gone to the hills wi' her laddie-o

Come, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Hey, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Come, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Mount an' I'll gang wi' ye-o

She's gone down to yon seashore
Afeared of the ship that was there before
Asked of the captain if she's been there
Or if any of the sailors saw her-o

Come, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Hey, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Come, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Mount an' I'll gang wi' ye-o

When she sailed out o'er yon lea
She drank a toast quite merrily
She bunged her wine glass into the sea
For the love that she found with her laddie-o

Come, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Hey, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Come, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Mount an' I'll gang wi' ye-o

When to they landed o'er yon lea
She was lady of fifty ploughs an' three
Lady of fifty ploughs an' three
An' well she loved her laddie-o

Come, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Hey, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Come, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Mount an' I'll gang wi' ye-o

Come, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Hey, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Come, bonnie laddie, mount and go
Mount an' I'll gang wi' ye-o
