WILL YE GO TO FLANDERS?	WILL YE GO TAE FLANDERS?

Will ye go to Flanders, my Mally-O?	Will ye go tae Flanders, my Mally O?
Will ye go to Flanders, my bonny Mally-O?	Will ye go tae Flanders, my Mally O?
There we'll have ale and brandy,	We’ll get wine and brandy,
Sack and sugar-candy;	Sac and sugar candy,
Oh, will ye go to Flanders, my Mally-O?	Will ye go tae Flanders, my Mally O.

Will ye go to Flanders, my Mally-O?	Will ye go tae Flanders, my Mally O?
Will ye go to Flanders, my bonny Mally-O?	Tae see the bonnie soldiers, my Mally O?
There you'll see the plaidies swirlin',	They’ll gie the pipes a blaw,
And you'll hear the pipies skirlin',	Wi their kilts and plaids sae braw,
Oh, will ye go to Flanders, my Mally-O?	Ae the fairest o’ them a, my Mally O.

Will ye go to Flanders, my Mally-O?	Will ye go tae Flanders, my Mally O?
Will ye go to Flanders, my bonny Mally-O?	Gin I tak the royal shillin there my Mally O?
There you'll hear the captain calling,	Will ye tae a foreign shore,
See the sergeat crawling,	For tae hear the cannon roar,
And the soldiers, how they're falling, my Mally-O?	And the bloody shouts o’ war, my Mally O?

And will ye go to Flanders, my Mally-O?	Will ye go tae Flanders, my Mally O?
To see the bold commanders, my bonny Mally-O?	Tae see the bold commanders, my Mally O?
There you'll see the bullets fly,	Will ye see the bullets fly,
You'll hear the ladies cry	And the soldiers how they die,
And the soldiers how they die, my Mally, O.	And the ladies how they cry, my Mally O?
