| The first place that I saw my love, it was at a ball
|
| I looked at her, I gazed at her, far above them all
|
| But aye she looked on me with scorn and disdain
|
| And the bonny wee lassie’s answer was to no come again
|
| Was to no come again
|
| And the bonny wee lassie’s answer was to no come again
|
| The next place that I saw my love, it was at a wake
|
| I looked at her, I gazed at her, I thought my heart would break
|
| But aye she looked on me with scorn and disdain
|
| And the bonnie wee lassie’s answer was to no come again
|
| Was to no come again
|
| And the bonny wee lassie’s answer was to not come again
|
| It being six months after, a little or above
|
| When Cupid shot his arrow and he’s wounded my true love
|
| He’s wounded her severely which caused her to complain
|
| And she wrote to me a letter sayin'
|
| «You might come again» Sayin' «You might come again»
|
| And she wrote to me a letter, sayin' «You might come again»
|
| Well, I wrote her back an answer for to let her know
|
| While life was in my body t’was there I wouldnae go
|
| While life was in my body and while it does remain
|
| I will aye mind the girl who said don’t come again
|
| Who said don’t come again
|
| I will aye mind the girl who said don’t come again
|
| So come all you pretty young fair maids a warning take by me
|
| Never slight a young man wherever you may be
|
| For if you do you’re sure to rue and cause you to complain
|
| And you’ll aye rue the day that you said
|
| «Don't come again» You said «Don't come again»
|
| And you’ll aye mind the day that you said, «Don't come again» |
