I am looking for the complete lyrics to this Scottish song

I have got some words as follows, but I am not sure they are right. Does anyone correct the wrong words?


Now, I met a lassie in Old Aberdeen,
The bonniest lassie that I'd ever seen,
I made up my mind that I'd wed her one day,
What, when I spoke to her, all I could say
Was "Heilan Lassie, Heilan Lassie, be my Valentine,
Heilan Lassie, Bonnie Lassie, Heilan Lassie, be mine."

I called my lass by the ???????
I told her that she meant the whole world to me
She brushed like a rose nearly blossom the day
When I propose to her all I could say
Was "Heilan Lassie, Heilan Lassie, be my Valentine,
Heilan Lassie, Bonnie Lassie, Heilan Lassie, be mine."

I married my lassie in Old Aberdeen
The bonniest bride that the city had seen
People who saw her said, "Man, she looks grand!"
I was spurred to her as I had her hand.
Heilan Lassie, Heilan Lassie, you're my Valentine,
Heilan Lassie, Bonnie Lassie, Heilan Lassie o' mine.

Thank you very much for your help. It's really difficult to follow all the words.

Thanks again.

With regards
