The Shearin's Nae for You, My Bonnie Lassie O

Tak the buckles frae your shoon, my bonnie lassie o
Tak the buckles frae your shoon, for your dancin days are doon
For your dancin days are doon, my bonnie lassie o

  O the shearins nae for ye, my bonnie lassie o
  O the shearins nae for you, for your back it will nae bow
  And your belly's rollin fu, my bonnie lassie o

Tak the flounces fae your goon, my bonnie lassie o
Tak the flounces fae your goon, mak a frockie for your loon
Mak a frockie for your loon, my bonnie lassie o

Dae you mind on Glescae Green, my bonnie lassie o
Dae you mind on Glescae Green, when I played on your machine
When I played on your machine, my bonnie lassie o
