I will go
Chorus:
I will go, I will go,When the fightin' is over,
To the land of McLeod
That I left to be a soldier.
I will go, I will go.
I
When the king's son came alongHe called us a' together,
Saying "Brave Higland men,
Will ye fight for my father?"
I will go, I will go.
Chorus
II
I've a buckle on my beltA sword in my scabbard
A red coat on my back
And a shilling in my pocket
I will go, I will go
Chorus
III
When they put us all on boardThe lasses were singing
But the tears came tae their eyes
When the bells started ringing
I will go, I will go.
Chorus
IV
When we landed on the shoreAnd saw the foreign heather
We knew that some would fall
And would stay here for ever
I will go, I will go.
Chorus
V
When we came back tae the glen,The winter was turning,
Our goods lay in the snow,
And our houses were burning.
I will go, I will go.
Chorus
Auch in diesem Lied geht es um das Hauptthema der Corries, die schottischen Kriege. In diesem speziellen Fall geht es um Krieger die ausziehen um zu kämpfen, bei ihrer Heimkehr finden sie ihre eigenen Häuser in Schutt und Asche vor.
