[Verse 1]
How could I live
At the top of a mountain
With no money in my pocket
And no gold for to count it
But I would let the money go
Or for to please her fancy
And I would marry no one
But my bonnie blue-eyed lassie

[Verse 2]
She's my bonnie blue-eyed lassie
With an air so sweet and tender
Her walk like a swan that floats
And her waist so small and slender
Her golden hair in ringlets fair
Hung o'er her snow white shoulder
And I'd ask her for to marry me
And there's no one could be bolder

[Verse 3]
Some people say
There's not a love that lasts forever
And other people say
There's not a love that can't be severed
But let them all say what they will
To me we will prove constant still
'Til the day that I die
She will be mine, mine only lady
'Til the day that I die
She will be mine, mine only lady
