HIE BONNIE LASSIE.
Hie bonnie lassie blink over the burn,
And if your flocks wander I'll gie them a turn,
Sae happy as we'll be on yonder green shade,
If ye'll be my dawtie, and sit in my plaid.
And if your flocks wander I'll gie them a turn,
Sae happy as we'll be on yonder green shade,
If ye'll be my dawtie, and sit in my plaid.
A ewe and twa lammies is a' my hale stock,
But I'll sell a lammie out o' my wee flock,
To buy thee a head-lace sae bonnie and braid,
If ye'll be my dawtie, and sit in my plaid.
But I'll sell a lammie out o' my wee flock,
To buy thee a head-lace sae bonnie and braid,
If ye'll be my dawtie, and sit in my plaid.
I hae a wee whittle made me a trout creel,
And oh that wee whittle I liked it weel;
But I'll gie't to my lassie and mair if I had,
If she'd by my dawtie, and sit in my plaid.
And oh that wee whittle I liked it weel;
But I'll gie't to my lassie and mair if I had,
If she'd by my dawtie, and sit in my plaid.
I hae little siller, and ae hauf years fee,
But if you will tak it I’ll gie’t a’ to thee,
And then we'll be married and lie in ae bed,
If ye'll be my dawtie, and sit in my plaid.
But if you will tak it I’ll gie’t a’ to thee,
And then we'll be married and lie in ae bed,
