there was a boniess

there was a boniess, and a bonie, boniess,

and she lo'ed her bonieddie dear;

till war's loud rms tore herddie frae her arms,

wi' mony a sigh and tear.

over sea, over shore, where the cannons loudly roar,

he still was a stranger to fear;

and nocht could him quail, or his bosom assail,

but the boniess he lo'ed sae dear.
