LOWLAND WILLIE.

When o'er the downs at early day,
my lowland Willie hied him,
With joy I drove my cows that way,
In milking to abide him.

My bonny, bonny lowland Will,
My bonny lowland Willie,
My bonny bonny lowland Will,
My bonny lowland Willie.

'Twas o'er the downs he first began,
to tell how well he lov'd me;

Could I refuse the charming man?
ah! no, his passion mov’d me.
My bonny, bonny, &c.

My Willie's love to me is joy,
I own it soon believe me;
To kirk I’ll hie wi' my bonny boy
for he will ne'er deceive me.
My bonny, bonny, &c.
