Gilderoy was a bonny Boy, had roses tull his shun,
His Stockings made of the finest silk, his Garters hanging down
It was a comely sight to see, he was so trim a Boy,
He was my Joy and Heart's Delight, my handsom Gilderoy.
Oh, sike a charming Eyen he had, a great as sweet as Rose;
He never wore a Highland plad, but costly silken Cloaths.
