Once upon a time, I
was very bonnie.
I used tae hae a bonnie
wee lad,
But noo I hivna' ony.
Chorus
I'm aye wakin', O!
wakin', aye an' eerie.
Sleep I canna get...
for thinkin' on my
dearie.
I'm aye wakin', O!
Verse 2
When winter time comes
on
And ev'rybody body's
sleepin'
I think on my bonnie
wee lad
And bleer my een wae
greetin'.
Chorus
Verse 3
He was very nice,
and kind tae to me
was Sandy;
He used tae buy me
ginger snaps
And lumps o' sugar
candy.
Chorus
Verse 4
He took me for a walk
one nicht roon' the
yardy,
Then he sat me doon
on a seat
an'gan tae gi' me
beardy.
Chorus
Verse 5
Once he said tae me
"Maggie, ye're my
soorok!"
And then he kiss'd
me on the nose,
An' took me doon to
Gourock.
Chorus
