My Bonnie Lassie

Somewhere a ship and crew

Sails o'er the ocean blue

Bringing oh bringing

My bonnie back to me

That's why the drums are drummin'

That's why the pips are hummin'

My bonnie lassie's comin' comin' to me

Drums in my heart are drummin'

I hear the bagpipes hummin'

My bonnie lassie's comin' over the sea

My heart with her she's bringin'

I hear the blue bells ringin'

Soon we'll be highland flingin'

My love and me

I'll meet her at the shore

Playin' the pipes for her

Dressed in a kilt and a tam o'shanter too

Drums in my heart are drummin'

I hear the bagpipes hummin'

My bonnie lassie's comin' comin' to me

Sad are the lads she's leavin'

Many a sigh they're heavin'

Even the heather's grievin' cryin' with dew

She's left her native highland

To come and live in my land

She'll love the folks who smile

And say how de do

I'll meet her at the shore

Playin' the pipes for her

Dressed in a kilt and a tam o'shanter too

Drums in my heart are drummin'

I hear the bagpipes hummin'

My bonnie lassie's comin' comin' to me

Comin' to me
