By the bonny milldams of Binnorie.
“Your cherry cheeks and your yellow hair,
Binnorie, O Binnorie;
Garr’d me gang maiden evermair.”—
By the bonny milldams of Binnorie.
Sometimes she sunk, and sometimes she swam,
Binnorie, O Binnorie;
Until she cam to the miller’s dam;
By the bonny milldams of Binnorie.
