O'er the moor among the heather,
Where the golden gorse is gleaming—
There I saw a bonnie lassie,
Like the sun in splendor beaming.
In her eyes the light was shining,
Of a heart with gladness teeming.
She bewitched my soul completely
And I felt love's magic streaming.
(Chorus:)
I love a lassie, a bonnie, bonnie lassie,
She's the pride of all the Highlands,
Fair as the dawn, with a heart so warm and tender.
I love a lassie, I'll love her forever and ever,
Through joy and sorrow, we'll be together,
Until death do us part, my bonnie, bonnie lassie.
(Verse 2:)
By a burnie side I met her,
'Neath the birken tree reclining,
Her voice was soft and lilting,
Like a gentle breeze entwining.
With her winsome smile and laughter
She dissolved all my repining.
In that moment, I surrendered,
To the love that was defining.
(Chorus:)
I love a lassie, a bonnie, bonnie lassie,
She's the pride of all the Highlands,
Fair as the dawn, with a heart so warm and tender.
I love a lassie, I'll love her forever and ever,
Through joy and sorrow, we'll be together,
Until death do us part, my bonnie, bonnie lassie.
(Bridge:)
Now we wander through life's journey
Hand in hand, our love increasing.
Through the valleys and the mountains,
Our love forever growing, unceasing.
With hearts entwined and spirits soaring,
In each other's arms we're roaming,
Together, we'll brave life's adventures,
With a love that keeps on gleaming.
(Chorus:)
I love a lassie, a bonnie, bonnie lassie,
She's the pride of all the Highlands,
Fair as the dawn, with a heart so warm and tender.
I love a lassie, I'll love her forever and ever,
Through joy and sorrow, we'll be together,
Until death do us part, my bonnie, bonnie lassie.
