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
