My love's in Germanie, send him hame, send him hame My love's in Germanie, send him hame My love's in Germanie, fighting brave for royalty He may ne'er his Jeannie see, send him hame, send him hame He may ne'er his Jeannie see, send him hame.
He's as brave as brave can be, send him hame, send him hame He's as brave as brave can be, send him hame He's as brave as brave can be, he would rather fa' than flee But his life’s sae dear to me, send him hame, send him hame For his life’s sae dear to me, send him hame.
Our foes are ten tae three, send him hame, send him hame Our foes are ten tae three, send him hame Our foes are ten tae three, he would rather fa' than flee But his life’s sae dear to me, send him hame, send him hame For his life’s sae dear to me, send him hame.
He'll ne'er come o’er the sea, Wullie's slain, Wullie's slain He'll ne'er come o’er the sea, Wullie's slain He may ne'er come o'er the sea, tae his love and ain countrie This life's nae mair for me, Wullie's slain, Wullie's slain This life's nae mair for me, Wullie's gane.

My love´s in Germanie
My luve 's in Germanie, send him hame, send him hame; My luve 's in Germanie, send him hame; My luve 's in Germanie, Fighting brave for royalty: He may ne'er his Jeanie see Send him hame.
He 's as brave as brave can be send him hame, send him hame; He 's as brave as brave can be send him hame; He 's as brave as brave can be, He wad rather fa' than flee; His life is dear to me Send him hame.
Your luve ne'er learnt to flee, bonnie dame, bonnie dame, Your luve ne'er learnt to flee, bonnie dame; Your luve ne'er learnt to flee, But he fell in Germanie, In the cause of royalty, Bonnie dame.
He 'll ne'er come ower the sea Willie 's slain, Willie 's slain; He 'll ne'er come ower the sea Willie 's gane! He 'll ne'er come ower the sea, To his love and ain countrie This warld 's nae mair for me Willie 's gane!
