The Bonnie Lass Of Fyvie |
There once was a troop o Irish dragoons, |
Cam marchin doon through Fyvie o |
The captains fell in love wi a very bonnie lass, |
And her name it was cad pretty peggy o |
Now theres many a bonnie lass in the howe o Auchterlass, |
Theres manys a bonnie lass in the Garioch, |
Theres many a bonnie Jean on the streets o Aiberdeen, |
But the floor o them a is in Fyvie o |
Oh its come doon the stair, pretty peggy my dear, |
Its come doon the stair pretty Peggy o |
Oh come doon the stairs, comb back your yellow hair, |
Take a last farewell o your daddy o |
Its Ill gie you ribbons for your bonnie golden hair, |
Ill gie you a necklace o amber o |
Ill gie you silken petticoats befitting your degree, |
If youll convoy me doon tae my chaumer o |
Oh I hae got ribbons for my bonnie golden hair, |
And I got a necklace o amber o |
And I got petticoats befitting my degree, |
And Id scorn tae be seen in your chaumer o |
It was early next morning when we rode awa, |
And o but our captain was sorry o, |
The drums they did beat Oer the bonnie braes o Gight, |
And the band played the lowlands o Fyvie o |
Lang eer we went into old Meldrum toon, |
Its we had to carry our Captain o |
Lang eer we went into bonnie Aiberdeen, |
Its we had our captain to bury o |
Green grow the birk on bonnie Ythanside, |
And low lies the lowlands o Fyvie o |
The captains name was Ned and he died for a maid, |
He died for the bonnie maid o Fyvie o |
