I WILL GO SONG LYRICS          


I will go tells the true story of Highlanders who fought for the English crown as Redcoats overseas. Alas when many of them returned home they found their homes burned to the ground and their families homeless or dead by greedy landlords. Such was the loyalty of the English throne

I Will Go
 
Chorus

I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
Tae the land o' MacLeod
That I left to be a soldier
I will go, I will go
 
When the King's son came along
And called us all together
Sayin', Brave Highland men
Will you fight for my father?
I will go, I will go
 
Chorus

I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
Tae the land o' MacLeod
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 shillin' in my pocket
I will go, I will go
 
Chorus

I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
Tae the land o' MacLeod
That I left to be a soldier
I will go, I will go
 
When they brought us all on board
The lasses were singin'
But the tears came to their eyes
When the bells started ringin'
I will go, I will go
 
Chorus

I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
Tae the land o' MacLeod
That I left to be a soldier
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 lie there forever
I will go, I will go
 
    
Chorus

I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
Tae the land o' MacLeod
That I left to be a soldier
I will go, I will go
 
When we came back to the glen
The winter was coming
Our goods lay in the snow
And our houses were burnin'
I will go...  I will go
 
Chorus

I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
Tae the land o' MacLeod
That I left to be a soldier
I will go, I will go
