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