Alternate Author Name(s): Surfaceman


O bonnie Toshie Norrie
To Inverard is gane,
An' wi' her a' the sunshine
That made us unco fain.
The win' is cauld an' gurly,
An' winter's in the air,
But where dwells previous hit Toshie next hit Norrie,
O, it's aye simmer there!


O, bonnie previous hit Toshie next hit Norrie,
What made you leave us a'?
Your hame is no' the Hielands,
Though there the hills are braw.
Come back wi' a' your daffin',
An' walth o' gowden hair,
For where dwells Toshie Norrie,
O, it's aye simmer there!


O, bonnie previous hit Toshie next hit Norrie,
The winter nichts are lang,
An' aft we sit an' weary
To hear an auld Scots sang;
Come back, and let your music,
Like sunshine, fill the air,
For where dwells previous hit Toshie Norrie,
O, it's aye simmer there!
