Verse 1:
D                G         A
A sailor and his true love sat doon to mak’ their moan
D        G         A
When by cam’ ane o’ their ain countrymen
    G               D        A
Sayin’
Rise up my bonnie lassie, mak’ haste and come awa’

There’s a vessel lyin’ bound for Caledonia

D                G      A
Well, said the sailor

D            G       A
Five hundred guineas before on board ye gae

I’ll pay them plack and farthing, before on board I go
      D                A       G
If you'll tak' me tae my bonnie Caledonia

D              G       A
Well, said the sailor
Her money we will tak’
D                G       A
And when we’re on sea, we will throw her over deck
   G               D        A
Or sell her for a slave, lang or e’er she win awa’
     D                A       G
And she’ll never see her bonnie Caledonia

Well, said the captain

For there are no slaves sold intil oor country noo
   G                 D        A
They would hang us ane and a’, they would hang us every man

If we sold her for a slave in Caledonia

She’s bound hand and foot ready overboard to throw
     D                A       G
And she’ll never see her bonnie Caledonia

♫ Verse 6:
D              G       A
So the captain away to the fair maid has gane
D                  G      A
Sayin’
What is the reason that ye lie here so lang
   G                             D        A
And what is the reason that you’re lying here at all
     D                A       G
For ye’ve paid your passage dear to Caledonia

♫ Verse 7:
D          G     A
Oh, says the lassie
Oh woe is me
D               G      A
That ever I was born sic hardships for to see
   G                             D        A
For the sailor’s got a lassie he likes better far than me
     D                A       G
And it causes me to weep for Caledonia

♫ Verse 8:
D              G     A
So the captain away to the sailor has gane
D                   G      A
He’s ta’en him by the neck and him overboard has thrown
   G                                   D        A
Saying
Tak’ this cup o’ water, though the liquor be but sma’
     D                A       G
And drink your lassie’s health tae Caledonia

♫ Verse 9:
D                           G         A
And they’ve sailed east, and they’ve sailed west
D                             G              A
Until they reached the land that they all loved the best
   G                              D        A
For the waves they did roar and the seas they did beat
     D                A       G
And they’ve all arrived safe to Caledonia



♫ Verse 10:
D                                  G         A
And they hadnae been there but threequarters o’ a year
   D                           G          A
When fine silks and satins he’s made her for to wear
   G                             D          A
When in fine silks and satins he’s made her for to go
     D                A       G
Now she’s the captain’s wife in Caledonia
     D                A       G
Now she’s the captain’s wife in Caledonia
