My bonny curl
F. Allitsen
I hae a curl, a bricht brown curl,
A bonny, bonny curl o hair,
An close to my heart it nestles warm,
But its brithers dinna ken it s there.
I stole my curl, my silk-saft curl,
My bonny, bonny curl o hair,
An a the nicht it sleeps upon my heart,
But its master doesna ken it s there.
O bricht, bricht curl! O luvely, luvely curl!
O curl o my bonny, bonny dear!
I wad that again ye waur shinin on his head,
But I wad that his head waur here!
