G#m
Adam Cameron is my name
B C#
I'm second son to Boyndlie
G#m F#
My brother John, he heirs the land
B G#m
And a soldier now you'll find me
[Verse]
G#m
Parting with my bonnie love
B C#
Her hand in mine was locke'd
G#m F#
And for to drive dull care away
B G#m
I spoke as if I joke'd
[Verse]
G#m
"It's farewell, Cameron, step abroad
B C#
Though you say I'm your charmer
G#m F#
I've kept the best part to myself
B G#m
And I'll wed some brisk young farmer"
[Verse]
G#m
"Since you have kept the part from me
B C#
For which I've long been searching
G#m F#
The fifes do play a merry tune
B G#m
And the drums beat loud for marching"
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G#m
So boldly I did step away
B C#
To go on to Dumbarton
G#m F#
And I had on my Highland dress
B G#m
As lieutenant to the captain
[Verse]
G#m
G# lad I had alang wi' me
B C#
'Twas her young brother Tammy
G#m F#
And ay, when he did smile on me
B G#m
Reminded me o' Annie
[Verse]
G#m
Soon after this a letter came
B C#
From Annie, as a token
G#m F#
It was to show and let me know
B G#m
That the bonds of love were broken
[Verse]
G#m
G# letter from my brother came
B C#
With post haste it was carried
G#m F#
That gin I were a living man
B G#m
To come and see him married
[Verse]
G#m
While reading it, her brother came
B C#
To ask me for a furlough
G#m F#
To go and see his sister wed
B G#m
He wished to leave tomorrow
[Verse]
G#m
And when I heard young Tammy's words
B C#
Within but I was weary
G#m F#
Who was to be my brother's wife
B G#m
But just my only dearie
[Verse]
G#m
I said, "You may not go alone
B C#
For it would sair offend me
G#m F#
But you must stay and drive the coach
B G#m
For me and Captain Finlay"
[Verse]
G#m
So we drove on and further on
B C#
It's homeward bound you'll find me
G#m F#
And there I met my bonnie love
B G#m
Beneath the braes o' Boyndlie
[Verse]
G#m
"Could you love a sodger noo
B C#
Could you lay doon ayont me?
G#m F#
Could you forsake your new sweetheart
B G#m
My dear love, and gang wi' me?"
[Verse]
G#m
"I could love a sodger noo
B C#
And I'll lie doon ayont ye
G#m F#
There was ne'er than for a mother's son
B G#m
My love, and I'll do for ye"
[Verse]
G#m
"The darkest oor o' any night
B C#
If you wed me, I'll tend you
G#m F#
Here's Captain Finlay will make us one
B G#m
And I will aye defend you"
[Verse]
G#m
I laid my broadsword across our knees
B C#
We crossed our right hands over
G#m F#
And Captain Finlay has made us one
B G#m
I'm husband now and lover
