I've
just been making up my mind tosettle down for life:
I've
made a bit o' money, so I think I'll take a wife.
I'll
build a cosy cottage on a hill beside the sea,
I'll
keep some pigs and chickens and have ham and eggs for tea.
Chorus,
I'm
looking for a bonnie lass to love me, to love me
to
love me, love me true oo-oo
I'm
looking for a bonnie lass to love me,
to
love me as my mither used to do.
Verse
2
I'll
take her to the city ev'ry Christmas for a treat.
I'll
show her a' th' window walkin' up and down the street,
I'll
maybe buy her something but I wouldn't like to say.
Because
I think the best shops are all closed on Christmas day.
Chorus,
Verse
3
My
nights are long and lonely and I weary all the day,
I
know I shouldn't say it but I'm throwing myself away.
I
know I'm fascinating when ye get to know my style,
My
Granny always said I'd get a lassie wi' a smile.
Chorus, repeat
