I dedicate this song to the memory of Vernon E. Buchanan, WWII, U.S.S. "Mad" Anthony, DD 515; one month shy of THREE YEARS on a Naval Destroyer.

I also recorded this song in June 2012. My voice seems to be getting lower with age so this version is a semi-tone lower. At 72 I don't know how much longer I can continue to sing....I hope I can continue for a while more.


Lyrics:
Oh where, tell me where is your Highland laddie gone
Oh where, tell me where is your Highland laddie gone
He's gone with streaming banners where noble deeds are done
But oh in my heart how I wish him well at home

Oh where, tell me where does your Highland laddie dwell
Oh where, tell me where does your Highland laddie dwell
He dwells in bonnie Scotland where grows the sweet bluebell
And oh in my heart how I love my laddie well

Oh what, tell me what if your Highland lad be slain
Oh what, tell me what if your Highland lad be slain
Oh no, true love will be his guide and bring him safe again
But oh, my heart would break if my Highland lad be slain
