[Intro]
[Verse]
Oh, my love has left me with bairns twa
And that s the last of him I ever saw
He joined the army and marched to war
He took the shilling, he took the shilling and he s off to war
[Chorus]
Come, laddies, come, hear the cannon roar
Take the king s shilling and you re off to war
[Verse]
Well, did he look as he marched along
With his kilt and sporran and his musket gun?
Ladies tipped him as he marched along
He sailed out by, he sailed out by the Broomielaw
[Verse]
Pipes did play as he marched along
And the soldiers sang out a battle song
[Verse]
Oh, my love has left me with bairns twa
And that s the last of him I ever saw
He joined the army and marched to war
He took the shilling, he took the shilling and he s off to war
[Chorus]
Come, laddies, come, hear the cannon roar
Take the king s shilling and you re off to war
[Verse]
Well, did he look as he marched along
With his kilt and sporran and his musket gun?
Ladies tipped him as he marched along
He sailed out by, he sailed out by the Broomielaw
[Verse]
Pipes did play as he marched along
And the soldiers sang out a battle song
