Bonie wee thing, cannie wee thing,
WISHFULLY I look and languish
Wit and Grace and Love and Beauty
Bonie wee thing, cannie wee thing,
18.
Bonie Wee Thing.
Chorus.
Lovely wee thing, wert thou mine,
I wad wear thee in my bosom
Lest my jewel it should tine.
I.
In that bonie face o' thine,
And my heart it stounds wi' anguish,
Lest my wee thing be na mine.
II.
In ae constellation shine!
To adore thee is my duty,
Goddess o' this soul o' mine!
Chorus.
Lovely wee thing, wert thou mine,
I wad wear thee in my bosom
Lest my jewel it should tine.
