The Bonie Wee Thing
Wishfully I look and languish
In that bonie face o’ thine,
And my heart it sounds wi’ anguish,
Lest my wee thing be na mine.
[Chorus] Bonie wee thing, cannie wee thing,
Lovely wee thing, wert thou mine,
I wad wear thee in my bosom,
Lest my jewel it should tine.
Wit and Grace, and Love, and Beauty,
In ae constellation shine;
To adore thee in my duty,
Goddess o’ this soul o’ mine!
[Chorus]
