I Love A Lassie
by Sir Harry Lauder

1]
I love a lassie, a bonnie Hielan' lassie,
Could you see her you would fancy as well:
I met her in September, popped the question in November,
I'll soon be havin' her a' to ma-sel'.
Her faither has consented, I'm feelin' quite contented
I've been and sealed the bargain wi' a kiss.
I sit and weary weary, when I think aboot ma deary,
An' you'll always hear me singin' this...

[CHORUS x2]
I love a lassie, a bonnie bonnie lassie,
She's as pure as a lily in the dell,
She's sweet as the heather, The bonnie purple heather
Mary, my Scots bluebell.

2]
I love a lassie, a bonnie Hielan' lassie
She can warble like like a mavis in the dell.
She's an angel ev'ry Sunday, but a jolly lass on Monday:
And as modest as her namesake the bluebell.
She's nice, neat, and tidy and I meet her ev'ry Friday:
That's a very special nicht I wouldn't miss.
I'm enchanted, I'm enraptured, since ma heart the darlin' captur'd,
She's intoxicated me with bliss...

[CHORUS x2]

3]
I love a lassie, a bonnie Hielan' lassie,
I could sit an' let her tease me for a week:
And the way she keeps behavin'... my, I never pay for shavin',
'Cause she rubs ma whiskers clean off with her cheek.
And underneath ma bonnet, where the hair wa, there's none on it
For the way she pats ma head has made me bald.
I know she means no harm, for she'll keep me nice and warm,
On the frosty nichts sae very cauld...

[CHORUS x2]
