First Line: Bonnie wee thing, cannie wee thing
Last Line: Bonnie wee thing, &c.
Bonnie wee thing, cannie wee thing,
Lovely wee thing, wert thou mine,
I wad wear thee in my bosom,
Lest my jewel it should tine.
Wishfully I look and languish
In that bonnie face o' thine,
And my heart it stounds wi' anguish,
Lest my wee thing be na mine.
Bonnie wee thing, &c.
Wit, and Grace, and Love, and Beauty,
In ae constellation shine;
To adore thee is my duty,
Goddess o' this soul o' mine!
Bonnie wee thing, &c.
