BLUEBELL POLKA.... Tune can be found on Youtube.

1. Pickin' a bluebell in the merry month of May,
And suddenly I saw him strolling on his way,
Pickin' a bluebell just the same as I was too;
I thought I could be happy with a boy like you.

2. And as he turned and smiled at me my heart stood still,
I never knew a smile could give me such a thrill.
He was a handsome laddie and he looked so good,
I promised that I'd meet him in the bluebell wood.

3. Half past seven by the old oak tree,
I was waiting, anticipating
What could happen to a girl like me
When he came along...

4. Pickin' a bluebell in the merry month of May
And suddenly I saw him strolling on his way,
Pickin' a bluebell just the same as I was too,
I thought I could be happy with a boy like you.

5. He looked wonderful. Oh! So wonderful.
How was I to see he would make a fool of me?
Two dark flashing eyes, looked like paradise;
My heart flickered like a flame.

6. What was I to do? Met my Waterloo.
There I stood for him, waiting in the wood for him.
I'm confessin' I learned my lesson,
And now I'll never be the same.

7. Pickin' a bluebell in the merry month of May
Is something I'll remember when I'm old and grey,
And if I live to ninety-two I know darned well
I never want to see another Scots bluebell.
