Some o' them had nane ava;
Some o' them had tartan plaidies,
Marching to the Broomielaw.

2. Fa saw the Forty-Second,
Fa saw them gang awa?
Fa saw the Forty-Second
Gaein' to the Waupinschaw?

Some o' them gat chappit tatties,
Some o' them gat nane ava.
Some o' them gat barley bannocks,
Gaein' to the Waupinschaw.

Fa saw the Forty-Second,
Fa saw them gang awa?
Fa saw the Forty-Second
Marchin' doun the Broomie-Law?

Some of them had tartan troosers,
Some of them had nane ava,
Some of them had green umbrellas,
Marchin' doun the Broomie-Law.

3. Wha saw the `Forty-second'
Wha saw them gaun awa'
Wha saw the `Forty-second'
Marchin' doon the Broomielaw.

Some o' them had buits and stockin's,
Some o' them had nane at a',
Some o' them had tartan trousers,
Marchin' doon the Broomielaw.

Wha saw the `Forty-second'
Wha saw them gaun awa'
Wha saw the `Forty-second'
Marchin' doon the Broomielaw.

Some o' them had kilts and sporrans,
Some o' them had nane at a',
Some o' them had braw Glengarries
Marchin' doon the Broomielaw.

A Version From Glasgow:
March past, the forty-second,
March past, the forty-twa'
March past, the bare-arsed bastards
Comin' from Ashanti war

Some o' them hae Hielan' bonnets
Some o' them hae nane at a'
Some hae kilts an' others hae na'
They be Hielan' laddies raw..
