[Verse]
A#m
Adam Cameron is my name
C# D#
I'm second son to Boyndlie
A#m G#
My brother John, he heirs the land
C# A#m
And a soldier now you'll find me
[Verse]
A#m
Parting with my bonnie love
C# D#
Her hand in mine was locke'd
A#m G#
And for to drive dull care away
C# A#m
I spoke as if I joke'd
[Verse]
A#m
"It's farewell, Cameron, step abroad
C# D#
Though you say I'm your charmer
A#m G#
I've kept the best part to myself
C# A#m
And I'll wed some brisk young farmer"
[Verse]
A#m
"Since you have kept the part from me
C# D#
For which I've long been searching
A#m G#
The fifes do play a merry tune
C# A#m
And the drums beat loud for marching"
[Instrumental]
A#m G#
A#m G#
A#m D#/A#
A#m
[Verse]
A#m
So boldly I did step away
C# D#
To go on to Dumbarton
A#m G#
And I had on my Highland dress
C# A#m
As lieutenant to the captain
[Verse]
A#m
A# lad I had alang wi' me
C# D#
'Twas her young brother Tammy
A#m G#
And ay, when he did smile on me
C# A#m
Reminded me o' Annie
[Verse]
A#m
Soon after this a letter came
C# D#
From Annie, as a token
A#m G#
It was to show and let me know
C# A#m
That the bonds of love were broken
[Verse]
A#m
A# letter from my brother came
C# D#
With post haste it was carried
A#m G#
That gin I were a living man
C# A#m
To come and see him married
[Verse]
A#m
While reading it, her brother came
C# D#
To ask me for a furlough
A#m G#
To go and see his sister wed
C# A#m
He wished to leave tomorrow
[Verse]
A#m
And when I heard young Tammy's words
C# D#
Within but I was weary
A#m G#
Who was to be my brother's wife
C# A#m
But just my only dearie
[Verse]
A#m
I said, "You may not go alone
C# D#
For it would sair offend me
A#m G#
But you must stay and drive the coach
C# A#m
For me and Captain Finlay"
[Verse]
A#m
So we drove on and further on
C# D#
It's homeward bound you'll find me
A#m G#
And there I met my bonnie love
C# A#m
Beneath the braes o' Boyndlie
[Verse]
A#m
"Could you love a sodger noo
C# D#
Could you lay doon ayont me?
A#m G#
Could you forsake your new sweetheart
C# A#m
My dear love, and gang wi' me?"
[Verse]
A#m
"I could love a sodger noo
C# D#
And I'll lie doon ayont ye
A#m G#
There was ne'er than for a mother's son
C# A#m
My love, and I'll do for ye"
[Verse]
A#m
"The darkest oor o' any night
C# D#
If you wed me, I'll tend you
A#m G#
Here's Captain Finlay will make us one
C# A#m
And I will aye defend you"
[Verse]
A#m
I laid my broadsword across our knees
C# D#
We crossed our right hands over
A#m G#
And Captain Finlay has made us one
C# A#m
I'm husband now and lover
