FALSE LOVER WON BACK (BONNIE LOVE)



The sun shines high on yonder hill

And low in yonder dell

The place where me and my love dwell

The sun it never goes doon, bonnie love

The sun it never goes doon



Go saddle to me the bonnie black stead

Go saddle to me the broon

That I may ride all aroon, bonnie love

That I may ride all aroon, bonnie love

That I may ride all aroon



It's when will ye be back, bonnie love

It's when will ye be hame

When the heather hills are nine time brunt

And all grown green again...



O that's o'er lang tae bid awa

That's o'er lang frae hame

The baby that's nae born yet

Will be o'er lang wantin his name...



He turned aboot his high horse heid

And fast awa rode he

And she kilted up her gay clothing

And fast, fast followed she...



Noo the firsten toon that they cam to

He bocht her some hose and sheen

And he bade her rue and return noo

And nae mair follow him...



It's love for love that I do want

Love for love again

It's hard when I loe ye sae weel

And ye nae me again...



The neesten toon that they cam to

He bocht her a brooch and ring

And he bade her rue and return noo

And nae mair follow him...



It's love for love that I do want

Love for love again

It's hard when I loe ye sae weel

And ye nae me again....



The neesten toon that they cam to

He bocht her a weddin ring

And he bade her dry her rosy cheeks

And he would tak her wi him...



It's love for love that I do want

Love for love again

And there's nane but ye for me, bonnie love

There's nane but you for me...



There's comfort for the comfortless

and honey for the bee

And there's nane for you but me, bonnie love

There's nane for you but me...



It's love for love that I hae got

Love for love again

so turn your high horse heid aboot

And we will ride for hame...
