Lyrics
Once I loved a bonnie girl
Her name was Isabelle
She was the lily of the valley
And the primrose of the dale
When she went out walking
She chose me for her guide
Down by the banks of the river
Just to see the fishes glide
When nine months had scarcely gone
She brought me forth a son
And I was quickly sent for
Just to see what could be done
I said I would marry her
But her father wouldn't agree
Saying, "You're no match for my bonnie girl
And she's no match for me"
So now she's married to a tinker lad
And he comes from Hunterly town
Mends pots and pans and paraffin lamps
And he scours the country round
Some say she's made a better match
But I fain I wouldn't agree
So it's fare thee well, you banks of the river
And bogies bonnie belle
