We're a' laid idle
Wi' the keepin' o' the bairn

The lad will nay work and the lass will nay learn
The lad will nay work and the lass will nay learn
Thou lies ower lang in thy bed

Bonny at morn
Canny at e'en
Bonny at morn
Canny at e'en
Bonny at morn

Thou lies ower lang in thy bed
Bonny at morn
Thou hinders thy mother at every turn
