Maelgwyn (inactive) shearin song (13) Lyr Add: THE SHEARIN'S NAE FOR YOU 19 Feb 99


Here's all the verses I have:

Oh, the shearin's nae for you, my bonnie lassie-o
Oh, the shearin's nae for you, my bonni lassie-o
O the shearin's nae for you, for your back it winna bou
And your belly's row-in fu' my bonnie lassie-o

Do you mind the Banks o' Aire, my bonnie laddie-o
Do you mind the Banks o' Aire, my bonnie laddie-o
Do you mind the Banks o' Aire whaur you caught me in your snare
And you've left me in despair, my bonnie laddie-o

Do you mind on Glescae Green, my bonnie lassie-o
Do you mind on Glescae Green, my bonnie lassie-o
Do you mind on Glescae Green, when I played on your machine
When I played on your machine, my bonnie lassie-o

Do you mind on yonder hill, my bonnie laddie-o
Do you mind on yonder hill, my bonnie laddie-o
Do you mind on yonder hill, whaur you swore you would me kill
Gin you didnae get your will, my bonnie laddie-o

Oh that you might kill me deed my bonnie laddie-o
Oh I'll no kill ye deed my bonnie lassie-o
Oh I'll no kill ye deed or mak your body bleed
But I'll marry you insteed my bonnie lassie-o

Tak the buckles frae your shoon, my bonnie lassie-o
Tak the buckles frae your shoon, my bonnie lassie-o
Tak the buckles frae your shoon, for you've married sic a loon
That your dancin' days are doon, my bonnie lassie-o

Tak the ribbons frae your hair, my bonnie lassie-o
Tak the ribbons frae your hair, my bonnie lassie-o
Tak the ribbons frae your hair, and cut off your ringlets fair
For you've nought but want and care, my bonnie lassie-o

Tak the flooncies frae your knee, my bonnie lassie-o
Tak the flooncies frae your knee, my bonnie lassie-o
Tak the flooncies frae your knee for it's better far for ye
To look out your bairnies three, my bonnie lassie-o

Tak the flooncies frae your goon, my bonnie lassie-o
Tak the flooncies frae your goon, my bonnie lassie-o
Tak the flooncies frae your goon, mak a frockie for your loon
Mak a frockie for your loon, my bonnie lassie-o

The pipes do loudly play, my bonnie lassie-o
The pipes do loudly play, my bonnie lassie-o
Oh the pipes do loudly play and I maun march away
For I can no longer stay, my bonnie lassie-o
