BobKnight Singing with belief (82* d) RE: Singing with belief 29 Jun 13


I try to avoid anything with religion in it, as I'm a non believer. As regards "The Shearings No For You," there are several versions of this song. My version has no rape and no desertion. It's just a love song.

The Shearin's Nae For You

Oh the shearin's nae for you, my bonnie lassie oh
Oh the shearin's nae for you, my bonnie lassie oh,
Oh the shearin's nae for you, for yer back it winna boo,
And yer stammick's growin' fu' my bonnie lassie oh.

Dae ye mind the banks o' Ayr, my bonnie lassie oh,
Dae ye mind the banks o' Ayr, my bonnie lassie oh,
Dae ye mind the banks o' Ayr, whaur my hairt ye did ensnare,
And my love I did declare, my bonnie lassie oh.

Tak the ribbons fae yer hair, my bonnie lassie oh,
Tak the ribbons fae yer hair, my bonnie lassie oh,
Tak the ribbons fae yer hair, and let doon yer ringlets fair,
Think ye nae on doul an' care, my bonnie lassie oh.

Tak the buckles frae yer sheen, my bonnie lassie oh,
Tak the buckles frae yer sheen, my bonnie lassie oh,
Tak the buckles frae yer sheen, for yer dancin' days are deen
Aye yer dancin days are deen, my bonnie lassie oh,
