My Bonny Lass

She wore a tartan bonnet
 
upon her flame red locks,

Around her waist she wore a kilt

For her no fancy frocks.

She puts fire in my veins,

I love her so, I do.

Oh my bonny, bonny lass

My heart I give to you.

I'll love you forever,
 
Aye, my lass I will

And should I live a thousand years,

I shall love you still.
