A house that is canty wi’ plenishin’ plenty,
Without them ye never need come for to woo?
I hae nae gowd to busk ye ay gaudy,
Nor yet buy you ribbons enew..
I brag nae o’ house nor o’ plenty,
But I hae a heart that is true.
I came nae for tocher, I ne’er heard o’ ony,
Never lo'ed Peggy,nor e'er brak my vow,
I've wander'd poor fool, for a face fause as bonny
I little thought this was the way for to woo.
Hae na ye roo'sd my red cheeks like the morning,
An’ roo'sd up my cherry red mou;
Ye’ve come o’er the sea, muir, and mountain,
What mair Johnny need you to woo:
An’ far hae ye wander'd I ken my dear laddie,
Now ye hae faund me, ye've nae cause to rue
Wi’ health we'll hae plenty, I'll never gang gaudy
I ne’er wish’d for mair than a heart that is true.
DINNA THINK, BONNY LASSIE.
O dinna think bonny lassie I’m gaun to leave you
Dinna think bonny lassie I’m gaun to leave you,
Dinna think bonny lassie I’m gaun to leave you,
I'll tak a stick into my hand an’ come again an’ see you.
