My Bonnie Lassie
Words:
Ames Brothers
The same melody is more familiar as the tune for "Scotland the Brave."
Melody:
Traditional
Drums in my heart are drummin
I hear the bagpipes hummin
My Bonnie Lassie's comin over the sea
My heart with her she's bringin
I hear the blue bells ringin
Soon we'll be highland flingin
My love and me

Chorus:
I'll meet her at the shore
Playin the pipes for her
Dressed in a kilt and a tam o'shanter too
Drums in my heart are drummin
I hear the bagpipes hummin
My Bonnie Lassie's comin, comin to me
 

Somewhere a ship and crew
Sails o'er the ocean blue
Bringing, oh, bringing
My bonnie back to me
That's why the drums are drummin
That's why the pipes are hummin
My Bonnie Lassie's comin, comin to me

Chorus

Sad are the lads she's leavin
Many a sigh they're heavin
Even the heather's grievin, cryin with dew
She's left her native highland
To come and live in my land
She'll love the folks who smile
And say, "how-de-do"

Chorus
