Drums in my heart are drummin

I hear the bagpipes hummin

My Bonnie Lassie's comin over the sea

My heart with her she's bringin

I hear the blue bells ringin

Soon we'll be highland flingin

My love and me


Somewhere a ship and crew

Sails o'er the ocean blue

Bringing, oh, bringing

My bonnie back to me

That's why the drums are drummin

That's why the pips are hummin

My Bonnie Lassie's comin, comin to me


Sad are the lads she's leavin

Many a sigh they're heavin

Even the heather's grievin, cryin with dew

She's left her native highland

To come and live in my land

She'll  love the folks who smile

And say, "how-de-do"


I'll meet her at the shore

Playin the pipes for her

Dressed in a kilt and a tam'oshanter too

Drums in my heart are drummin

I hear the bagpipes hummin

My Bonnie Lassie's comin, comin to me
