|   | My
love was born in Aberdeen, The boniest lad that e'er was seen,
 But now he makes our hearts fu' sad,
 He takes the Field wi' his White Cockade.
 Chorus:
O he's a ranting, roving lad,
 He is a brisk an a bonny lad,
 Betide what may, I will be wed,
 And follow the boy wi the White Cockade.
 
 | I'll
sell my rock, my reel, my tow, My gude gray mare and hawkit cow;
 To buy mysel a tartan plaid,
 To follow the boy wi the White Cockade.
 Chorus
