Leezie Lindsay- Mrs. Claude Hendon (OK) pre1964 Moore
"Will ye gang to the Hielands, Leezie Lindsay,
Will ye gang to the Hielands wi' me?
Will ye gang to the Hielands, Leezie Lindsay,
My bride and my darling to be?"
"To gang to the Hielands with you, sir,
I dinna ken how that may be;
For I ken nae the land that ye live in,
Nor ken I the lad I'm gaun wi'."
"Oh, Leezie, lass, ye maun ken little
If say ye dinna ken me;
For my name is Lord Ronald MacDonald,
A chieftain o' high degree."
She has kilted her coats o' green satin,
She has kilted them up to the knee;
An' she's off wi' Lord Ronald MacDonald,
His bride and his darling to be.
