Of aˇ®the lads in tinwald woun
|
the lovely fair, the black or broun
|
there never was sae droll a loon
|
as bonnie Johnnie Lowrie
|
my dad a peck oˇ®lint did sow
|
I gaed top see how it did grow
|
when wha come skipping owre the knowe
|
but bonnie Johnnie Lowrie
|
|
terry owden dowden day
|
the queerest loon in laich or brae
|
is bonnie Johnnie Lowrie
|
|
I wandred oot to weed the same
|
my laddie kenˇ®d I was frae hame
|
to follow me ha wasna lame
|
my bonnie Johnnie Lowrie
|
I took the flax unto the mill
|
my jewel fo 5llowˇ®d after still
|
and coming hame I gat a gill
|
frae bonnie Johnnie Lowrie
|
|
terry owden dowden day ...
|
|
at last, aˇ®e night, into the park
|
I met with him when it was dark
|
and, oh, the kissinˇ® that I gat
|
frae bonnie Johnnie Lowrie
|
but Johnnieˇ®s true, he did me wed
|
yestreen before the priest we gaed
|
I carena noo for man or dad
|
sinˇ® I hae Johnnie Lowrie
|
|
terry owden dowden day ...
|
|
a fig, say I, for jacking grown
|
or priest or elder in the toun
|
Iˇ®ll takˇ® the warld, rough and rounˇ®
|
wiˇ® bonnie Johnnie Lowrie
