Bogie's Bonnie Bell
Lyricist:Traditional
At market day in Huntley toon An' it was there, I did agree Wi' Bogieside, the farmer A twelve month for to fee
Tae drive his twa best horses That's a task that I could do Tae drive his twa best horses In the harrow and the ploo
Now Bogie had a dochter Her name was Isabelle She was the lily o' the valley An' the primrose o' the dell
An' when she went out walkin' She chose me for her guide Doon by the burn at Cairnie Tae watch the fishes glide
And when three months was scarcely o'er The lassie lost her bloom An' the red fell frae her bonnie cheeks An' her eyes began to swoon
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Noo, the neist nine months were past and gone She brought tae me a son And I was quickly sent for tae See what could be done
I said that I would marry her But oh, that widna dae For, 'You're nae match for Bonnie Belle An' she's nae match for thee'
He sent me packin' doon the road Wi' nae penny o' my fee Sae a' ye lads o' Huntley toon A lang fareweel tae ye
But noo she's marrit tae a tinker lad Wha bides in Huntley toon He mends pots and pans and paraffin lamps Aan' scours the country roon
Maybe she's gotten a better match Auld Bogie canna tell But it was me wha's ta'en the maidenheid O' Bogie's bonnie Belle
