Lyrics The Corries

The Corries

I Will Go

I will go, I will go

When the fighting is over

To the land of McLeod

That I left to be a soldier

I will go, I will go

When the fighting is over

To the land of McLeod

That I left to be a soldier.

I will go, I will go

When the King's son came along

He called us all together

Saying, brave heilan men

Will you fight for my father.

I will go, I will go

I will go, I will go

When the fighting is over

To the land of McLeod

That I left to be a soldier

I will go, I will go

I've a buckle on my belt

A sword in my scabbard

A red coat on my back

And a shilling in my pocket

I will go I will go

I will go, I will go

When the fighting is over

To the land of McLeod

That I left to be a soldier

I will go, I will go

When they put us all on board

The lassies were singing

But the tears came to their eyes

When the bells started ringing

I will go, I will go

When we landed on the shore

And saw the foreign heather

We knew that some would fall

And would stay there forever

I will go, I will go

I will go, I will go

When the fighting is over

To the land of McLeod

That I left to be a soldier

I will go, I will go

slowly:

When we came back to the glen

The winter was turning

Our goods lay in the snow

And our houses were burning

I will go

I will go

I will go, I will go

When the fighting is over

To the land of McLeod

That I left to be a soldier

I will go, I will go

When the fighting is over

To the land of McLeod

That I left to be a soldier

I will go, I will go
