There Grows A Bonnie Brier Bush

There grows a bonnie brier bush in our kail-yard, There grows a bonnie brier bush in our kail-yard; And below the bonnie brier bush there's a lassie and a lad, And they're busy busy courting in our kail-yard. We'll court nae mair below the buss in our kail-yard, We'll court nae mair below the buss in our kail-yard, We'll awa to Athole's green, and there we'll no be seen, Where the trees and the branches will be our safeguard. Will ye go to the dancin' in Carlyle's ha'; Will ye go to the dancin' in Carlyle's ha'; Whare Sandy and Nancy I'm sure, will ding them a', I winna gang to the dance in Carlyle ha'. What will I do for a lad, when Sandy gangs awa? What will I do for a lad, when Sandy gangs awa? I will awa to Edinburgh, and win a penny fee, And see an onie bonnie lad will fancy me. He's coming frae the north that's to fancy me, He's coming frae the north that's to fancy me; A feather in his bonnet, and a ribbon at his knee; He's a bonnie bonnie laddie, an yon be he.
