FANNY MACMURDOCH.
Fanny MacMurdoch is blithe and bonnie,
Fanny MacMurdoch is frank and free;
God bless thee ever, Fanny MacMurdoch,
Soothly thou art a joy to see!
Fanny MacMurdoch, Fanny MacMurdoch,
Blithe and blooming Fanny MacMurdoch!
My heart was glad, and my heart was sad,
When first I looked on Fanny MacMurdoch.
Fanny MacMurdoch is frank and free;
God bless thee ever, Fanny MacMurdoch,
Soothly thou art a joy to see!
Fanny MacMurdoch, Fanny MacMurdoch,
Blithe and blooming Fanny MacMurdoch!
My heart was glad, and my heart was sad,
When first I looked on Fanny MacMurdoch.
Fanny MacMurdoch is truthful-hearted,
Truth she wears in her bonnie blue e'e:
Souls of children, where thou comest,
Fanny MacMurdoch, come with thee!
Fanny MacMurdoch, Fanny MacMurdoch,
Truthful-hearted Fanny MacMurdoch!
One look I gave, one look I got,
And I lost my heart to Fanny MacMurdoch!
Truth she wears in her bonnie blue e'e:
Souls of children, where thou comest,
Fanny MacMurdoch, come with thee!

Truthful-hearted Fanny MacMurdoch!
One look I gave, one look I got,
And I lost my heart to Fanny MacMurdoch!
O Fanny MacMurdoch, Fanny MacMurdoch,
A wicked thought thou gav'st to me;
I wish I were married twenty times over
To thee, and all that's like to thee!
O Fanny MacMurdoch, Fanny MacMurdoch,
Blithe, brave-hearted Fanny MacMurdoch,
I'm married already (and can't be divorced)
In heart to thee, sweet Fanny MacMurdoch!
A wicked thought thou gav'st to me;
I wish I were married twenty times over
To thee, and all that's like to thee!
O Fanny MacMurdoch, Fanny MacMurdoch,
Blithe, brave-hearted Fanny MacMurdoch,
I'm married already (and can't be divorced)
In heart to thee, sweet Fanny MacMurdoch!
