I'M LOOKING FOR A BONNIE LASS TO LOVE ME
Words and music by Harry Lauder
London: Francis, Day & Hunter, ©1924.
As sung by Harry Lauder

1. I've just been makin' up ma mind to settle doon for life.
I've made a bit o' money so I think I'll take a wife.
I'll build a cosy cottage on the hill beside the sea.
I'll keep some pigs an' chickens, have ham an' eggs for tea.
And so—

CHORUS: I'm lookin' for a bonnie lass to love me,
To love me, to love me, love me too.
I'm lookin' for a bonnie lass to love me,
To love me as ma mother used to do.

2. I'll take her to the city every Christmas for a treat.
I'll show her all the windaes walkin' up an' doon the street.
I'll maybe buy her something, but I wouldn't like to say,
'Cause I think the best of all the shops are closed on Christmas Day.

3. Ma nights are long an' lonely and I weary all the day.
I know I shouldn't say it, but I'm throwin' maself away.
I'm very fascinating when you get to know ma style.
Ma grannie alwis said I'd catch a lassie wi' ma smile.
