I sing the bonnie E’e of her,

My bonnie, bonnie Lassie O!

I

sing the praise of ane I luve,

My bonnie, bonnie Lassie, O!

I sing of monie a time and aft,

We’ve gane thegither cheerly, O!

And bless the E’e that welcomes me,

My bonnie blue-eyed Lassie, O!

Her face sae fair, her winning air,

Sure nane is like my lassie, O!

When e’r we meet, she smiles so sweet,

My bonnie blue-eyed lassie, O!

And monie a time at fair or green,

We’ve prattled aft and dearly, O!

I press’d my suit, she pleaded youth,

My bonnie blue-eyed lassie, O!

Yes, woo I still, yes, woo I will,

My bonnie, bonnie lassie, O!

The world can ne’er ha’e charms for me,

Without my blue-eyed lassie, O!

When last we met, I saw her e’e

Half turn’d aside so winning, O!

I named the kirk, she gied consent,

My ain dear blue-eyed lassie, O!
