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
