Bonny at morn

The sheep's in the meadow,

The kye's in the corn,

Thou's ower lang in thy bed,

Bonny at morn,

Canny at night,

Thou's ower lang in thy bed,

Bonny at morn.

The bird's in the bush,

The trout's in the burn;

Thou hinderest thy mother

In many a turn.

Canny at night,

Bonny at morn,

Thou's ower lang in thy bed,

Bonny at morn.

We're all laid idle

Wi' keeping the bairn,

[The lass wi' net learn,

The lad wi' net work].

Canny at night,

Bonny at morn,

Thou's ower lang in thy bed,

Bonny at morn.
