It was in the merry month o' May
A bonnie wee  lass I met one day.
And all the language she could say,
Was, "Donal', dinna miss me!
Hug me, tug me as you please;
Watch and mind ye dinna squeeze,
And when you think that no one sees,
Donal' come and kiss me."

Chorus

Hey,  Donal',  ho Donal' think upon your vow,
Donal'!  Donal', you are big and braw,
Kiss me quick and gang awa'!

Verse 2

We stood that nicht upon the stair,
Blethering there like any pair.
I kissed her till her gums were sair,
Said she, "You're misbehaving!"
When I tickled her, she said, "That's rash!"
Then she gave me such a bash!
She said "Yer whiskers need a wash,
Or else they're needing shaving"

Chorus

Each nicht I noo see Miss MacKie,
She's a beauty, so am I,
But let me whisper, by the by,
She's a great provoker.
She'll often say to me, "Donal' dear,
Hurry up and disappear.
If my mither kens ye're here,
Donal' ye're a croaker."

Chorus
