322 . Song—The Bonie Wee Thing

Chorus.—Bonie wee thing, cannie wee thing,

Lovely wee thing, wert thou mine,

I wad wear thee in my bosom,

Lest my jewel it should tine.

WISHFULLY I look and languish

In that bonie face o’ thine,

And my heart it stounds wi’ anguish,

Lest my wee thing be na mine.

Bonie wee thing, &c.

Wit, and Grace, and Love, and Beauty,

In ae constellation shine;

To adore thee is my duty,

Goddess o’ this soul o’ mine!

Bonie wee thing, &c.
