Chorus:
O the shearing's nae* for you, my bonnie lassie-o,
O the shearing's nae for you, my bonnie lassie-o,
O the shearing's nae for you, for your back it winna* boo*,
And your belly's roarin' fu'*, my bonnie lassie-o.
Do you mind on yonder hill, my bonnie laddie-o,
Do you mind on yonder hill, my bonnie laddie-o,
Do you mind on yonder hill, when you swore you would me kill
Gin* ye didnae* hae* your will, my bonnie laddie-o.
Chorus
Do you mind the banks o' Ayre, my bonnie lassie-o,
Do you mind the banks o' Ayre, my bonnie lassie-o,
Do you mind the banks o' Ayre, when my hairt* you did ensnare,
And you left me in despair, my bonnie lassie-o.
Chorus
No, it's you I winna slay, my bonnie lassie-o,
No, it's you I winna slay, my bonnie lassie-o,
No, it's you I winna slay, for the drums do loudly play,
And I maun* march away, my bonnie lassie-o.
Chorus
