The Poetical Works of Robert Burns/There was a bonie Lass
THERE WAS A BONIE LASS.
There was a bonie lass, and a bonie, bonie lass,And she lo'ed her bonie laddie dear;Till war's loud alarms tore her laddie frae her arms,Wi' monie a sigh and tear.
Over sea, over shore, where the cannons loudly roar,He still was a stranger to fear:And nocht could him quell, or his bosom assail,But the bonie lass he lo'ed sae dear.
