W:Oh, the first place that I saw my love it was at a ball,
W:I looked at her, I gazed on her, oh, far above them all,
W:But aye she lookéd on me with scorn and disdain
W:And the bonnie wee lassie's answer was to no come again,
W:Was to no come again,
W:And the bonnie wee lassie's answer was to no come again.
W:
W:The next place that I saw my love it was at a wake,
W:I looked at her, I gazed on her, I thought my heart would break,
W:But aye she looked on me with scorn and disdain
W:and the bonny wee lassie's answer was to no come again,
W:Was to no come again,
W:And the bonnie wee lassie's answer was to no come again.
W:
W:It being in six months after, a little or above,
W:When Cupid shot his arrow and he wounded my true love,
W:He wounded her severely, it caused her to complain
W:And she wrote to me a letter saying, "You might come again",
W:saying "you might come again",
W:And she wrote to me a letter saying, "You might come again",
W:
W:I wrote her back an answer all for to let her know
W:While life was in my body it's there I wouldnae go,
W:While life was in my body and while it does remain
W:I will aye mind the girl that said - "Don't come again",
W:that said "don't come again",
W:I will aye mind the girl that said - "Don't come again",
W:
W:Come all you pretty fair maids, a warning take by me,
W:Never slight a young man wherever they may be,
W:For if you do you're sure to rue, they'll cause you to complain
W:And you'll aye rue the day that you said, "Don't come again",
W:You said "Don't come again",
W:You will aye rue the day you said "Don't come again".
