Did ye ever hear tell of Jean Jamieson's bunnet
Did ye ever hear tell of Jean Jamieson's bunnet
It wisnae itsel' but the ornaments on it
Gard a'body talk of the bunnet of Jean.

The bunnet was covered wi' ribbons of blue
And edged with a fringe of a composite hue

A' the birds of the air came to settle upon it

And laid a roond egg on the top of the bonnet

(BitsI remember from the way my grandmother sang it, nice tune, in the 1940s)
