"Bonnie Kellswater" lyrics
"Bonnie Kellswater"
Here's a health unto you, Bonnie Kellswater
For its there you'll find the pleasures of life
And its there you'll find a fishing and a farming
And a Bonnie wee girl for your wife
On the hills and the glens and low valleys
Grows the softest of linen so fine
And the flowers are all dripping with honey
There lives Martha, a true love of mine
Lovely Martha, you're the first girl I courted
You're the one put my heart in a snare
And if ever I should lose you to another
I will leave my Kellswater so fair
For this one and that one may court her
But no other can take her from me
For I love her as I love my Kellswater
Like the primrose is loved by the bee
Here's a health unto you, Bonnie Kellswater
For its there you'll find the pleasures of life
And its there you'll find a fishing and a farming
And a Bonnie wee girl for your wife
