THE GREEN PLAID
(Trad)

On the twenty-sixth of July Lord Lennox' men came here
And they dazzled all our lassies' eyes, their armour shone sae clear
They dazzled all our lassies when they met them in the street
Aye and when they met them in the lane they kissed them sae sweet

Will you go along wi' me my bonnie bonnie lass
And I'll lay you in my green plaid while we lie upon the grass
If I were to go along wi' you and to gie to you my hand
Yer colonel he would part us before we left the land

Never mind our colonel for he loves you as his life
And he gave to us an order for each man to have a wife
Each man to have a wife my dear to keep him company
And I'll roll you in my green plaid when we sail on the sea

What would my mam and daddie think if they knew I were wi' thee
Rolling in your green plaid and dandling on your knee
Never mind your mam and dad for what do you repine
If I had you in Majorca then you would drink the wine

You would drink wine and brandy and bear right company
And I'll roll you in my green plaid while we sail on the sea
So they've gone to Majorca and they've left the girls behind
And they've gone to Majorca for the sake of Spanish wine

Some o' them were sorry and some o' them right glad
But I wish that I'd gone wi' him all rolled up in his plaid
And if ever they return again how happy I will be
Rolling in his green plaid and dandling on his knee

[1983:] The song refers to the 25th Regiment on Foot who were stationed in south west Scotland during the late eighteenth century, prior to being sent to Minorca. There, Lord Lennox, their Commander felt obliged to complain about the quality of the wine. No doubt the vintage from the vineyards of Kirkcudbright was better!
