I've just popp'd in to tell ye O' my latest love affair.
It's a' aboot a bonnie lass I met wi' ginger hair.
I stole her frae anither chap that had he at the fair,
And if the weddin' was the nicht I'm sure I wouldna care.

Chorus

There's no anither lassie like the lassie that I love.
I nevr met anither half sa  han'some.
She's sweet as honey, and I'm savin' a' my money,
Since I started coortin' bonnie Maggie Tamson.

Verse 2

Her birthday was last Sunday, and it put me in a fix.
I had to buy her something, and it cost me one an' six.
It was a silken handkerchief, I plank'd my money doon.
She paid me back in kisses that were worth a half a croon.

Chorus

Verse 3

We got our photo taken and I wish that you could see.
The way the photographer has her seated on my knee.
When I show'd it to my mother, how she laugh'd and then said she,
"That's absolutely how yeer faither used to do wi' me.

Chorus
