Wha saw the 42nd
Wha saw them gang awa'
Wha saw the 42nd
Marchin' doon the Broomielaw!

Some of them had tartan troosers
Some of them had nane at a'
Some of them were kilty cauld bums
Marchin' doon the Broomielaw!

Some of them had braw glengarries
Some of them had nae at aw'
Some of them had green umbrellas
Marchin' to the Broomieclaw

Saw ye the 42nd
Saw ye them gang away
Saw ye the 42nd
Marchin' through the Broomieclaw!
