Lyrics

[00:00.01] Whare are you gaun, my bonie lass,
[00:03.80] Whare are you gaun, my hinnie?
[00:06.72] She answered me right saucilie,
[00:09.75] "An errand for my minnie." “
[00:13.72] O whare live ye, my bonie lass,
[00:16.19] O whare live ye, my hinnie?
[00:19.99] "By yon burnside, gin ye maun ken, “
[00:23.32] In a wee house wi' my minnie."
[00:27.25] But I foor up the glen at e'en.
[00:30.39] To see my bonie lassie;
[00:34.12] And lang before the grey morn cam,
[00:36.62] She was na hauf sae saucie.
[00:40.62] O weary fa' the waukrife cock,
[00:43.25] And the foumart lay his crawin!
[00:47.12] He wauken'd the auld wife frae her sleep,
[00:50.02] A wee blink or the dawin.
[00:54.25] An angry wife I wat she raise,
[00:56.84] And o'er the bed she brocht her;
[01:00.53] And wi' a meikle hazel rung
[01:03.75] She made her a weel-pay'd dochter.
[01:07.55] O fare thee weel, my bonie lass,
[01:10.05] O fare thee well, my hinnie!
[01:13.97] Thou art a gay an' a bonnie lass,
[01:17.05] But thou has a waukrife minnie.
