[20. Bonnie Annie]
I
There was a rich lord, and he lived in Forfar,
He had a fair lady and one only dochter.
II
O she was fair! O dear, she was bonnie!
A ship’s captain courted her to be his honey.
III
‘Ye’ll steal your father’s gowd, and your mother’s money,
And I’ll make ye a lady in Ireland bonnie.’
IV
She’s stown her father’s gowd, and her mother’s money,
But she was never a lady in Ireland bonnie.
