I love a lassie -- a sweet bonnie lassie. She'll always be near to my heart and it romances whenever he glances are shoot at me like Cupid's dart.

Light was my spirit -- my soul filled with laughter as she seemed to lead me to love everafter.

I've loved my lassie -- my sweet bonnie lassie. She's ever been near to my heart. But years take their hold -- paying silver for gold and tearing the loved ones apart.
