BONNY ANNIE

There was a rich lord, and he lived in Forfar,

He had a fair lady, and one only dochter.

O she was fair, O dear, she was bonny,

A ship's captain courted her to be his honey.

There came a ship's captain out ower the sea sailing,

He courted this young thing till he got her wi' bairn: —

"Ye'll steal your father's gowd, and your mother's money,

And I'll mak ye a lady in Ireland bonny."

She's stown her father's gowd and her mother's money,
