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.
