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.
