Kilbogie First when I cam' tae Kilbogie's toon Wi' my short coat and my tartan plaidie First when I cam' my bonnie love tae see She stayed in her bed till her breakfast was ready When her breakfast it was set doon She said she had been tae the fields wi' her daddy Weel I kent by the silk o' her hands' She stayed in her bed till her breakfast was ready When her breakfast it was set doon It was set doon and it was made ready Oot spake her mother untae her "Hae naething tae dae wi' a Hielan' laddie" They gaed oot tae tak' a walk Tae tak a walk till the dinner was ready He's set her up on his high horse back An she's far, far awa' frae her hame in Kilbogie When at last tae the Hielan's they cam' There was naething there fitting for a lady Naething was there for her tae lay on But a wee pickle heather an'his tartan plaidie "In my faither's hoose there's blankets and sheets They are very white and bonnie An' right angry my faither wad be Tae see me lyin' here on yer tartan plaidie" "In the Hielan's we've got plenty o' sheep They are very thick and bonnie It's ye'll get wool an' ye can spin An mak ye a blanket instead o' a plaidie" "A coach and six tae me prepare" A coach and six was gotten ready A coach and six tae tak' her a' the way An' she's awa' back tae her home in Kilbogie sung by Jean Redpath SOF
