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' mony a sigh and tear.
    over sea, over shore, where the cannons loudly roar,
    he still was a stranger to fear;
    and nocht could him quail, or his bosom assail,
    but the bonie lass he lo'ed sae dear.
