Beware O' Bonnie Ann.

Tune - "Ye gallants bright."


I.

    Ye gallants bright, I red ye right,
        Beware o' bonnie Ann;
    Her comely face sae fu' o' grace,
        Your heart she will trepan.
    Her een sae bright, like stars by night,
        Her skin is like the swan;
    Sae jimply lac'd her genty waist,
        That sweetly ye might span.

II.

    Youth, grace, and love attendant move,
        And pleasure leads the van:
    In a' their charms, and conquering arms,
        They wait on bonnie Ann.
    The captive bands may chain the hands,
        But love enclaves the man;
    Ye Gallants braw, I red you a',
        Beware of bonnie Ann!
