[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
The sun shines high [A] on yonder [E] hill, And low in yonder dell,
The place where me [A] and my [Abm] love dwells, [E] The sun it never goes doon.
Bonny love, the sun it never goes _ doon.
_ _ Give saddle to me [A] the bonny [B] black steed, [E] Or saddle to me the brun,
That I may [A] ride o'er and [B] bonny love, [E] That I may ride o'er and bonny love,
That I may ride o'er and_
_ _ _ It's when will ye [A] be back, [Abm] bonny love, [E] It's when will ye be hain?
When the heather hills [A] are nine times [B] brunt, [E] And o'er-ground green again,
Bonny love, and o'er-ground green again. _ _ _ _
O that's our [A] long to bide [E] o'er, That's our long fare hain,
The baby [A] that's nay [B] born yet, [E] Will be our long bond in its name,
Bonny love, will be our long bond in its name. _ _ _
He turned about [A] his high [E] horse he'd, And fast a-war rode he,
And she kilted [A] up her gay [B] cloth'n, [E] And fast, fast followed she,
Bonny love, and fast, fast followed she. _ _ _
_ The [Abm] first and [A] tune that they [E] came to, He pocked her hose and sheen,
And he bade her rue [A] and [E] return rue, And nay more follow him,
Bonny love, and nay more follow him. _ _ _
It's love for love [A] that [E] I do want, Love for love again,
_ It's hard when I [A] like [B] ye say will, [E] And ye name me again,
Bonny love, and ye name me again. _ _ _ _
The neest and tune [A] that they [E] come tell, He pocked her a brooch and a ring,
And he bade her [A] rue and [E] return rue, And nay more follow him,
Bonny love, and nay more follow him. _ _ _
It's love for love [A] that [B] I do want, [E] Love for love again, _
It's hard when I [A] like [B] ye say will, [E] And ye name me again,
Bonny love, and ye name me again. _ _ _ _
The neest and tune [A] that they [Gbm] come tell, [E] He pocked her a brooch and a ring,
And he bade her dry [A] her [B] rosy cheeks, [E] And he would tuck her with him,
Bonny love, and he would tuck her with him. _ _ _
It's love for [A] love that I [B] do want, [E] Love for love again,
And there's name but you [A] for me, [E] Bonny love, And there's name but you for me,
Bonny love, and there's name but you for me. _ _ _
There's comfort for [A] the [B] comfortless, [E] And honey for the bee,
And there's name for you [A] but [E] me, Bonny love, And there's name for you but me,
Bonny love, and there's name for you but me. _ _ _
It's love for [A] love that I [E] hae got, Love for love again,
So turn your high [A] horse [B] yeed aboot, [E] And we will ride for hame,
Bonny love, and we will ride for hame. _ _ _
