WHere got'st thou the Haver-mill Bonack, blind Booby can'st thou not see, Ise got it out of the Scots-man's Wallet, as he lig Lousing him under a Tree: Come fill me my Cup, come fill me my Can, Come saddle my Horse, and call up my Man, Come open the Gates and let me go free. And show me the way unto Bonny Dundee. For I have neither Robbed nor Stole, nor have I done any Injury, But I have gotten a Fair Maid with Child, the Minister's Daughter of Bonny Dundee: Come fill me my Cup, come fill me my Can, Come saddle my Horse and call up my Man, Come open the Gates and let me go free, For Ise gang no more unto Bonny Dundee. Although Ise have gotten her Maiden-head, gued faith Ise have left her mine own in lew, for when at her Daddys Ise gan to Bed, Ise Moad her without any more to do, Ise cuddel'd her close, and gave her a Kiss, Pray tell me now, where is the harm of this: Then open the Gates and let me go free, For Ise gan no more unto Bonny Dundee. All Scotland ne're afforded a Lass so bonny and blith as Jenny my dear, Ise gave her a Gown of green on the grass, yet now Ise no longer must tarry here: Then saddle my Nag, that's bonny and gay, For now it is time to gan hence away; Then open the Gates and let me go free, Shes ken me no more unto Bonny Dundee. In liberty still I reckon to reign, for why I have done no honest Man wrong, The Parson may take his daughter again, for she'll be a Mammy before 'tis long, And have a young Lad or Lass of my Breed; Ise think I have done a generous Deed: Then open the Gates and let me go free, For Ise gan no more unto Bonny Dundee.
Since Jenny, the fair, was willingly kind, and came to my Arms with ready good will, A Token of Love Ise leave her behind, thus have I requited her kindness still, Though Jenny, the fair, I often have Moad, Another may reap the Harvest I sow'd. Then open the Gates and let me go free, Shes ken me no more unto Bonny Dundee. Her Daddy would have me make her my Bride, but have, and to hold, I ne're could endure, From Bonny Dundee this day I will Ride, it being a place not safe and secure, Then Jenny farewel, my Joy and my Dear, With Sweard in my hand, the Passage Ise clear, Then open the Gates and let me go free, For Ise gan no more unto Bonny Dundee. My Father is a muckle good Leard, my Mother a Lady bonny and gay, Then while I have skill to handle a sweard, the Parson's request Ise never obey, Then Sanny, my Man, be thou of my mind, In Bonny Dundee we'se not be confin'd, The Gates we will force and set our selves free, And never come more unto Bonny Dundee. Then Sawny reply'd: Ise never refuse to Fight for a Leard so Valiant and Bold, Whilst I have a drop of blood for to lose, e're any sick Loons shall keep us in hold; This sweard in my hand Ise Valiantly weild, And fight by your side to kill, or be kill'd, For forcing the Gates, and set our selves free, And so bid adieu to Bonny Dundee. With Sweards ready drawn they r[i]d to the gate where being den'y an Enterance through, The Master and Man they fought at that rate, that some ran away, and others they slew, Thus Jockey, the Leard, and Sawny, his man, They Valiantly Fought, as High-Landers can, In spight of the Leons they set themselves free, And so bid adieu to Bonny Dundee.
