A Fine Highland Lass
I've a dapper blue bonnet,
A rakish blue bonnet,
A fine Highland bonnet
Cocked over my brow.
All I need now to
Bestow grace upon it
Is a fine Highland lassie
To go with me now.
I've a bonny bright tartan,
A warm woolen tartan,
A fine belted tartan
Wrapped over my knee.
All I need now for
To make it more heart'nin
Is a fine Highland lassie
My sweetheart to be.
So come, lass and hear me,
Come sit down and cheer me.
Come lassie sit near me,
Take hold of my hand.
Justlet your heart guide ye,
And sit down beside me.
Come lassie and let me
Be your Highland man.
I've a basket hilt broadsword,
A bright gleaming broadsword,
A sharp warrior's broadsword
To hang by my side.
All I need now for to
Set my heart homeward
Isa fine Highland lassie
To come be my bride.
So come, lass and hear me,
Come sit down and cheer me.
Come lassie sit near me,
Take hold of my hand.
Justlet your heart guide ye,
And sit down beside me.
Come lassie and let me
Be your Highland man.
A rakish blue bonnet,
A fine Highland bonnet
Cocked over my brow.
All I need now to
Bestow grace upon it
Is a fine Highland lassie
To go with me now.
I've a bonny bright tartan,
A warm woolen tartan,
A fine belted tartan
Wrapped over my knee.
All I need now for
To make it more heart'nin
Is a fine Highland lassie
My sweetheart to be.
So come, lass and hear me,
Come sit down and cheer me.
Come lassie sit near me,
Take hold of my hand.
Justlet your heart guide ye,
And sit down beside me.
Come lassie and let me
Be your Highland man.
I've a basket hilt broadsword,
A bright gleaming broadsword,
A sharp warrior's broadsword
To hang by my side.
All I need now for to
Set my heart homeward
Isa fine Highland lassie
To come be my bride.
So come, lass and hear me,
Come sit down and cheer me.
Come lassie sit near me,
Take hold of my hand.
Justlet your heart guide ye,
And sit down beside me.
Come lassie and let me
Be your Highland man.
