BONNY LASSIE O!
O the evenings for the fair bonny Lassie O
To meet the cooler air And walk an angel there
With the dark dishevell'd hair
Bonny Lassie O
To meet the cooler air And walk an angel there
With the dark dishevell'd hair
Bonny Lassie O
The blooms on the brere bonny Lassie O
Oak apples on the tree And will thou gang to see
The shed made for thee
Bonny Lassie O
Oak apples on the tree And will thou gang to see
The shed made for thee

T'is agen the run[n]ing brook bonny Lassie O
In a grassy neuk hard bye Wi' a little patch O sky
And a bush to keep us dry
Bonny Lassie O
In a grassy neuk hard bye Wi' a little patch O sky
And a bush to keep us dry
Bonny Lassie O
There's the daisy all the year bonny Lassie O
There's the kingcup bright as gold And the speedwell never cold
And the arum leaves unrolled
Bonny Lassie O
There's the kingcup bright as gold And the speedwell never cold
And the arum leaves unrolled
Bonny Lassie O
O meet me at the shed bonny Lassie O
Wi the woodbine peeping in and the rosey like thy shin
Blushing thy praise to win
Bonny Lassie O
Wi the woodbine peeping in and the rosey like thy shin
Blushing thy praise to win
Bonny Lassie O
I will meet there there at e'en bonny Lassie O
When the bee sips in the bean And grey willow branches lean
And the moon beam looks between
Bonny Lassie O
When the bee sips in the bean And grey willow branches lean
And the moon beam looks between
Bonny Lassie O
