there was a bonie ss
there was a bonie ss, and a bonie, bonie ss,
and she lo'ed her bonie ddie dear;
till war's loud arms tore her ddie frae her arms,
wi' mony a sigh and tear.
over sea, over shore, where the ons loudly roar,
he still was a strao fear;
and nocht could him quail, or his bosom assail,
but the bonie ss he lo'ed sae dear.
