[Verse]
                                        F                  C
I've watched and waited by the door, o' mony's the village hall
                                         Dm               G7
To see you swirl across the floor, while I stood next the wall
   C                            F                    C
No good Scots Grey nor grenadier in courage could surpass
F           C                            G      C       G  C
Asking o' a dance to steer wi' my bonnie border lass

[Verse]
                                             F               C
Though fleet of foot, all partners part, our time is fleeter still

                                                 Dm                 G7
Through the years you've danced your heart, in a Lancer's o' love's will
    C                                  F                 C
The fairest flower will fade until she shuns the looking glass
      F                C                           G      C       G  C
But I hold the scented petals still, for my bonnie border lass

[Verse]
                                         F            C
I ken not whar you rest your head at the dying o' the day
                                 Dm             G7
In humble cot or feather bed, or deep below the clay
  C                           F                 C
I only know although my dreams of vanities have passed
         F                     C                              G      C       G  C
That the face that through the firelight gleams, is my bonnie border lass

[Verse]
                                              F                  C
In that bright land beyond life's shore where time has ceased to be
                            Dm                 G7
And lovers share forevermore each other's company
     C                                   F                C
I'll search amidst the throng for you and when I hold you fast
     F                C                       G      C
Then I will sing this song for you, my bonnie border lass
  F                 C                       G      C        F  C
Until that day I'll long for you, my bonnie border lass
