THERE WAS A BONIE LASS
I
There was a bonie lass, and a bonie, bonie lass,And she loed her bonie laddie dear,
Till War's loud alarms tore her laddie frae her arms
Wi' monie a sigh and a tear.
II
Over sea, over shore, where the cannons loudly roar,He still was a stranger to fear,
And nocht could him quail, or his bosom assail,
But the bonie lass he loed sae dear.
