SMILE AGAIN, MY BONNIE LASSIE

Smile again, my bonnie lassie, lassie, smile again,
Prithee, do not frown, sweet lassie, for it gives me pain.
If to love thee too sincerely be fault in me,
Thus to use me so severely is not kind in thee.
Oh! smile again, my bonnie lassie, lassie, smile again,
Oh! smile again my bonnie lassie, prithe, smile again.

Fare-thee-well! my bonnie lasssie, lassie, fare-thee-well!
Time will show thee, bonnie lassie, more than tongue can tell.
Tho' we're doom'd, by fate to sever (and 'tis hard to part,
Still believe me, thou shalt ever own my faithful heart.
Then smile again, my bonnie lassie, lassie, smile again,
Oh! smile again, my bonnie lassie, prithee, smile again.
