Lyrics to Bonnie Woods O' Hatton
Bonnie Woods O' Hatton Video:
Ye comrades and companions and all ye females dear To my sad lamentations I pray you lend an ear For it's once I lo'ed a bonnie lass I lo'ed her as my life It was my sole intention to make that girl my wife I said "my dearest Betsy when will you name the time When you and I'll get married love and hands togther join? You'll sit in oor wee cottage and you'll neither spin nor sew While your own kind herted highland lad gaes whistling at the plough" Oh I courted wi yon bonnie lass for twelve months and a day Sometimes among the green grass sometimes among the hay I courted her the leelong nicht and part o the next day till she said "dearest Sandy, O it?s time you were away" There's Castom and there's Caddom mills and leather mills likewise Their woods and waters many more bring pleasure tae mine eyes But the bonnie woods o' Hatton they aye grow green in May An it's there the bonnie lassie lived that stole my hert away I'll speak aboot yon bonnie lass though she be far awa I'll speak aboot yon bonnie lass tae those she never saw I'll tell them that I lo'ed her weel although she proved untrue And left me doon by Hatton woods my follies for to rue But blessings on yon bonnie lass wherever she may be I wish no evil unto her although she slighted me I only hope someday that she might say before she dees O I wish I'd wed that highland lad that sang so sweet to me Ye comrades and companions and all ye females dear To my sad lamentations I pray you lend an ear For it's once I lo'ed a bonnie lass I lo'ed her as my life It was my sole intention to make that girl my wife
