My love, he is bonny, he's fairer than best.
He's the sweetest and kindest and blest.
He is daring, yet gentle; he's true to his love.
He is blest with God's peace from above.

Believe me, if all those endearing young charms
were to pass by my window this night,
we would fly with the wind, we would kiss by the moon
until morning had bid us goodnight.

Believe me, if all those endearing young charms
were to pass by my window this night,
we would sing with the wind as we flew past the moon
until morning had bid us goodnight.

My love, he is bonny, he's fairer than best.
He's the sweetest and kindest and blest.
He is daring, yet gentle; he's true to his love.
He is blest with God's peace from above.

Believe me, if all those endearing young charms
were to pass by my window this night,
we would fly past the moon, we would swing on a star,
until morning had bid us goodnight.

Believe me, if all those endearing young charms
were to pass by my window this night,
we would fly past the moon, we would swing on a star,
until morning had bid us goodnight.
