DINNA THINK, BONNIE LASSIE.
O dinna think, bonnie lassie, I'm gaun to leave thee;
Dinna think, bonnie lasssie, I'm gaun to leave thee;
Dinna think, bonnie lassie, I'm gaun to leave thee;
I'll tak a stick into my hand, and come again & see thee,
Far's the gate ye hae to gang, dark's the night and eerie,
Far's the gate ye hae to gang, dark's the night and eerie,
Far's the gate ye hae to gang, dark's the night and eerie,
O stay this ae night wi' your love, and dinna gang and leave me.
It's but a night and hauf a day that I'll leave my dearie;
But a night and hauf a day that I'll leave my dearie;
But a night and hauf a day that I'll leave my dearie,
Whene'er the sun gaes west the loch, I'll come again and see thee.
Dinna gang, my bonnie lad, dinna gang and leave me;
Dinna gang, my bonnie lad, dinna gang and leave me;
When a' the lave are sound asleep I am dull & eerie,
And a' the lee-lang night I'm sad, wi' thinking on my dearie.
