The Bonnie Lass o’Fyvie

[Verse 1]
Well, there once was a troop of Irish dragoons
Come marchin' doon through Fyvie-o
The captain's fallen in love with another bonnie one
Oh, the name that she had was pretty Peggy-o

[Verse 2]
"Oh, come runnin' doon yer stairs, pretty Peggy, my dear
Come runnin' doon yer stairs, pretty Peggy-o
Come runnin' doon yer stairs, tie back yer yellow hair
Tak' a last farewell to yer daddie-o

[Verse 3]
Though the colonel, he cried, "Oh, mount, boys, mount"
Oh, the captain, he cried, "Tarry-o
Oh, Tarry for a while, for another day or twa
Just to see if this bonnie lass will marry-o"

[Verse 4]
Long ere we went to Oldmeldrum toon
It's we had to carry our captain-o
And ere we went into bonnie Aberdeen
It's we had our captain to bury-o

[Verse 5]
Oh, there's mony a bonnie lassie in the Howe of Auchterless
There's mony a bonnie dame in the Gairioch-o
There's mony a bonnie Jean in the toon o' Aberdeen
But the flo'er of them all bides in Fyvie-o

[Verse 6]
Well, it's green grow the birks on the bonnie Ythanside
An' low lie the Lowlands o' Fyvie-o
The captain's name was Ned, an' he died for a maid
An' he died for the soldier lass o' Fyvie-o
