I will go, I will go When the fighting is over To the land of McLeod That I left to be a soldier I will go, I will go When the fighting is over To the land of McLeod That I left to be a soldier. I will go, I will go When the King's son came along He called us all together Saying, brave heilan men Will you fight for my father. I will go, I will go I will go, I will go When the fighting is over To the land of McLeod That I left to be a soldier I will go, I will go I've a buckle on my belt A sword in my scabbard A red coat on my back And a shilling in my pocket I will go I will go I will go, I will go When the fighting is over To the land of McLeod That I left to be a soldier I will go, I will go When they put us all on board The lassies were singing But the tears came to their eyes When the bells started ringing I will go, I will go When we landed on the shore And saw the foreign heather We knew that some would fall And would stay there forever I will go, I will go I will go, I will go When the fighting is over To the land of McLeod That I left to be a soldier I will go, I will go slowly: When we came back to the glen The winter was turning Our goods lay in the snow And our houses were burning I will go I will go I will go, I will go When the fighting is over To the land of McLeod That I left to be a soldier I will go, I will go When the fighting is over To the land of McLeod That I left to be a soldier I will go, I will go
