Lyrics:
Chorus:
Lassie wi' the lintwhite locks
Bonnie lassie, artless lassie
Wilt thou wi' me tent the flocks?
And wilt thou be my dearie O?
Now nature cleeds the flowery lea
And a' is young and sweet like thee
Oh wilt thou share its joys wi' me
And say thou'lt be my dearie O?
(Chorus)
The primrose bank, the wimpling burn
The cuckoo on the milkwhite thorn
The wanton lambs at rosy morn
Shall glad thy heart, my dearie O
And when the welcome simmer shower
Has cheer'd ilk drooping little flower
We'll to the breathing woodbine-bower
At sultry noon, my dearie O
(Chorus)
As Cynthia lights wi' silver ray
The weary shearer's hameward way
Thro' yellow waving fields we'll stray
And talk o' love, my dearie O
(Chorus)
And should the howling wintry blast
Disturb my lassie's midnight rest
I'll fauld thee to my faithfu' breast
And comfort thee, my dearie O
(Chorus)
