I'm deep in love wae a bonnie wee lass,
But I don't think she cares much for me.
The last time I met her I telt her that
I would do anything for her, in fact I would dee.
She turn'd roon and telt me she thought I was ??ft, (unreadable)
But she broke me up when she said "Man yer daft!"

Chorus
She doesna care much for me, not a little B.I.T.
She is what neighbors call a lady,
I've known her all my life,
I would like to have her for my wife
Cause I've loved her ever since she was a baby.

Verse 2

The Scotch way of coortin' is the best way of all,
But it's not what some folks may suppose.
She says my kissin' it won't do at all.
But I canna get near for the length o' my nose.
And I've got to shave masel' six time a week,
'Cause she say's my whiskers keep jaggin' her cheek.

Chorus

Verse 3

I took her one night for a walk doon the glen,
And I telt her I'd love her since sincere.
I telt her I was saving up a' my bawbees
To try and get spliced to her at the new year.
But noo it's all over, she's taken the huff.
I've a tear on my nose and I'm not worth a huff.

pause
Spoken: If I had the bawbee I'd go abroad , or better than that, I'd
'list join the lifeguards, go to war and get kilt and get a warrier's
funeral. It's come to this: I'll have to do something. I'm getting deperate
I maybe don't look desperate, but I feel it. If only she'd consent to marry
me, I'd never forget her for it. I feel I'd like to be kind to something since
my wee dog deed: but mind you,  I'm keepin' up my heart, and livin' in hope
'Cause as Rabbie Burns said:-

"I'm always thinkin' on her
She's ever in my view.
I'll never live without her,
I think I see her noo.

I love her to destraction,
As lover's ought to do,
And if she doesna have me
I'll do something that I'll rue."

Chorus
