Lyrics:

Oh the shearin's no for you
My bonnie lassie O
No, the shearin's no for you
My bonnie lassie O
No, the shearin's no for you
For your back, it willnae boo
And your belly's rowan fu'
My bonnie lassie O

Dae you mind on yonder hill
My bonnie laddie O?
Dae you mind on yonder hill
My bonnie laddie O?
Dae you mind on yonder hill
Where you said you wid me kill
If you didnae hae your will
My bonnie laddie O?

Well, I'll no kill you deid
My bonnie lassie O
No, I'll no kill you deid
My bonnie lassie O
No, I'll no kill you deid
Nor will I harm your pretty heid
I will marry you with speed
My bonnie lassie O

It was in the month o' May
My bonnie laddie O
It was in the month o' May
My bonnie laddie O
It was in the month o' May
When the flooers, they are gay
And the lambs all sport and play
My bonnie laddie O

Oh the shearin's no for you
My bonnie lassie O
No, the shearin's no for you
My bonnie lassie O
No, the shearin's no for you
For your back, it willnae boo
And your belly's rowan fu'
My bonnie lassie O
