I Will Go

Chorus:
I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
To the land of MacLeod
Which I left to be a soldier
I will go, I will go.

When the Kings son came along
He called us all together
Saying "Brave Highland men
Will you fight for my father?"
I will go, I will go.

Chorus

I've a buckle on my belt
And a sword in my scabbard
And the Redcoat on my back
And a shilling in my pocket
I will go, I will go.

Chorus

When they put us all aboard
The lasses were singing
And the tears came to their eyes
As the bells started ringing
I will go, I will go.

Chorus

When we landed on the shore
And saw the foreign heather
WE knew that some would fall
And lie there forever
I will go, I will go.

Chorus

When we came back to the glen
The winter was turning
All our goods lay in the snow
And our houses were burning
I will go, I will go.

Chorus

Alternative Version

When we're camping in Wales
And we're halfway up a mountain
And its pissing down outside
And my tent leaks like a fountain
I will go, I will go.

Chorus
Can we go, can we go
When the muster is over
I'll go back to my tent
And I'll stay there 'till I'm sober
I will go, I will go.

There's a horn in my hand
and it is full of ale
And it's spilling down my front
And rusting up my mail
I will go, I will go.

Chorus

I've got rust on my sword
And moth holes in my tunic
When I take a killing blow
I can swear in fluent runic
I will go, I will go.

Chorus
