Macpherson was a Scotchman,
and he courted bonnie Mary.
He went and joined the navy,
left the hills of old Glengary.
The love he left behind him
nearly wore her heart away.
she'd dream about him ev'ry night
and was sighing all the day.

Oh! Mister Macpherson,
you're a peculiar person.
why did you leave your bonnie Mary
awa' on the hills of old Glengary?
Oh! Mister Macpherson,
you said you'd love me true,
come back and tickle me, Mac,
the same as you used to do.

Oh! Mister Macpherson,
you're a peculiar person.
why did you leave your bonnie Mary
awa' on the hills of old Glengary?
Oh! Mister Macpherson,
you said you'd love me true,
come back and tickle me, Mac,
the same as you used to do.

She found out where his ship was,
and she sent a loving letter.
She said, "Why did you go to sea?
You ought to know much better.
I suppose you'll sail to foreign parts,
now you're a jolly tar.
And it breaks my heart
to think of it,
for I know what sailors are."

Oh! Mister Macpherson,
you're a peculiar person.
why did you leave your bonnie Mary
awa' on the hills of old Glengary?
Oh! Mister Macpherson,
you said you'd love me true,
come back and tickle me, Mac,
the same as you used to do.

Oh! Mister Macpherson,
you're a peculiar person.
why did you leave your bonnie Mary
awa' on the hills of old Glengary?
Oh! Mister Macpherson,
you said you'd love me true,
come back and tickle me, Mac,
the same as you used to do.

She said, "The times we used to have
Oh! surely you remember.
We used to have some cuddles in
the middle of December.
You need to call me "Baby"
and you'd chase me round the place,
and ev'ry time you kissed me, Mac,
you nearly washed my face.

Oh! Mister Macpherson,
you're a peculiar person.
why did you leave your bonnie Mary
awa' on the hills of old Glengary?
Oh! Mister Macpherson,
you said you'd love me true,
come back and tickle me, Mac,
the same as you used to do.

Oh! Mister Macpherson,
you're a peculiar person.
why did you leave your bonnie Mary
awa' on the hills of old Glengary?
Oh! Mister Macpherson,
you said you'd love me true,
come back and tickle me, Mac,
the same as you used to do.
