HERE IS A LASS WITH A GOLDEN RING

Here is a lass with a golden ring,
Golden ring, golden ring;
Here is a lass with a golden ring,
So early in the morning.

Gentle Johnie kissed her,
Three times blessed her,
Sent her a slice o' bread and butter,
In a silver saucer.

Who shall we send it to,
Send it to, send it to;
Who shall we send it to?
To [Mrs Ritchie's] daughter.
