Thanks folks for your help and here's the verses I had before. They're from a group called Finn MacCuill (or MacCool?) 70s ? Oh the shearin's no for you ma bonnie lassie O for your back it winna bou and your belly's row-in fu' ma bonnie lassie O Do you mind the banks awhere .... when you drew me in your snare Aye and left me in despair ... Do you mind on yonder hill When you swore you would me kill If you did nae get your will Oh that you might kill me deed Oh I'll no kill ye deed (man singing) Or mak your body bleed But I'll marry you insteed ma bonnie lassie O Tak the buckles frae your shoe And put on your working goon For your dancing days are done The pipes do loudly play And I must away for I can no longer stay bonnie lassie O As you can gather some of this song is sung by the man and some by the woman and she sings "Bonnie laddie O" Many thanks for all your help I tried to sing a 'toned down' version of this at the Penny Theatre in Canterbury, Kent, UK last Sunday.
