The White Cockade

Oh my love was born in Aberdeen
The boniest lad that e’er wis seen
But noo he maks our hearts fu’ sad
He taks the field wi his white cockade

Oh he’s a rantin, rovin lad
He is a brisk and a bonny lad
Betide whit may, I will be wed
And follow the lad wi the white cockade

I’ll sell my rock, my reel, my tow
My gude gray mare and hawkit cow
To by myself a tartan plaid
To follow the lad wi the white cockade

Oh he’s a rantin, rovin lad
He is a brisk and a bonny lad
Betide whit may, I will be wed
And follow the lad wi the white cockade
