There Was a Bonie Lass - A fragment


 * 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.
