In coming by the brig o' Dye, At Darlet we a blink did tarry; As day was dawnin in the sky, We drank a health to bonnie Mary. Chorus. -- Theniel Menzies' bonnie Mary, Theniel Menzies' bonnie Mary, Charlie Grigor tint his plaidie, Kissin' Theniel's bonnie Mary. Her een sae bright, her brow sae white, Her haffet locks as brown's a berry; And aye they dimpl't wi' a smile, The rosy cheeks o' bonnie Mary. Theniel Menzies' bonnie Mary, &c. We lap a' danc'd the lee-lang day, Till piper lads were wae and weary; But Charlie gat the spring to pay For kissin Theniel's bonnie Mary.
