about

Possibly our favourite song by Robert Burns, Scotland's most famous poet, song writer, drinker and womanizer. In fact, a success in every field he entered.

lyrics

Lady Mary Anne looked o'er the castle wa'
She saw three bonnie boys playing at the ba'
The youngest there was the flooer amang them a'
My bonnie laddie's young but he's growing yet.

Faither o' faither, and ye think it fit
We'll send him a year tae college yet
We'll tie a green ribbon all around his hat
And that will let them know he's tae marry yet.

Lady Mary Anne was a flooer in the dew
Sweet was its smell, ate and bonnie was its hue
The longer it blossomed the sweeter it grew
And the lily in the pond will be bonnier yet.

Young Charlie Cochrane was the sprout o' an alk
Bonnie and bloomin' and strought was its make
the sun took delight tae shine for its sake
And it will be the flooer o' the forest yet.

The summer is gane when the leaves were green
Gone are the days that we hae seen
But far better days I trust will come again
For my bonnie laddie's young but he's growing yet.
