the bonnie, ho the bonnie,

Hey the bonnie breast-knot ;

Blithe and merry were they a'

When they put on their breast-knots;

There was a bridal in this toun,

And till't the lasses a' were boun',

Wi' mankie facings on their gown,

And some o' them had breast-knots.

Singing, hey the bonnie, &c.

At nine o' clock the lads convene,

Some clad in blue, some clad in green,

Wi' shinin' buckles in their sheen,

And flowers are their waistcoats.
