There lived a lady in Scotland
Hey my love, ho my joy
There lived a lady in Scotland
So dearly she loved me
There lived a lady in Scotland
She fell in love with an Englishman
Bonnie Susie Cleland, she's to be burned in Dundee

The father to his daughter came
Hey my love, ho my joy
The father to his daughter came
So dearly she loved me
Will you forsake this Englishman?
Bonnie Susie Cleland, she's to be burned in Dundee

If you will not this Englishman forsake
Hey my love, ho my joy
If you will not this Englishman forsake
So dearly she loved me
Then I will burn you at the stake
Bonnie Susie Cleland, she's to be burned in Dundee

Where may I find a pretty little boy
Hey my love, ho my joy
Where may I find a pretty little boy
So dearly she loved me
To carry tokens to my joy
Bonnie Susie Cleland, she's to be burned in Dundee

Bring to him this right hand glove
Hey my love, ho my joy
Bring to him this right hand glove
So dearly she loved me
Tell him to find another love
Bonnie Susie Cleland, she's to be burned in Dundee

Bring to him this wee pen knife
Hey my love, ho my joy
Bring to him this wee pen knife
So dearly she loved me
Tell him to find another wife
Bonnie Susie Cleland, she's to be burned in Dundee

Bring to him this gay gold ring
Hey my love, ho my joy
Bring to him this gay gold ring
So dearly she loved me
Tell him I'm going to my burning
Bonnie Susie Cleland, she's to be burned in Dundee

The father he put up the stake
Hey my love, ho my joy
The father he put up the stake
So dearly she loved me
The brothers the fire did make
Bonnie Susie Cleland, she was burned at Dundee
