F C Dm C
She's my bonny blue-eyed lassie with, with an air so sweet and tender
F Am Dm G C
Her walk like swans on water and her waist so small and slender
F C Dm C
Her golden hair in ringlets fell all o'er her snow-white shoulder
F C Dm G C
And I'll ask her for to marry me, and there's no man could be bolder
[Instrumental]
F C Dm Em F C Am F C G C
[Verse 3]
F C Dm C
Now, there's some people say she is very low in station
F Em Dm7 Am G C
And there's more people say, she'll be the cause of my ruination
F C
But let them all say what they will
Dm Am F Em
To her I will prove constant still
F C Am G C
'Til the day that I die, she will be my own lovely lady
[Interlude]
F C Dm G C
[Verse 4]
Dm C F Em
How lightly skims the swallow o'er the dark waters of Eochaill
Dm C Dm G C
And blithely sings the nightingale so happy to behold her
F C
And the winds may blow, and the moorcocks crow
Dm Am F Em
And the moon shine out so clearly O
Dm C Dm7 G C
Ah, but deeper by far is my love for my own lady
[Verse 5]
F C Dm C
Well now, there's some people tell me that she is very low in station
F C Dm7 Am G C
And there's more people say, she'll be the cause of my ruination
F C
But let them all say what they will
Dm Am G
To her I will prove constant still
N.C. C
'Til the day that I die, she will be my own lovely lady
