Bonnie wee thing, cannie wee thing, 
Lovely wee thing wer't thou mine, 
I would wear thee in my bosom, 
Lest my jewel I should tine.

Wistfully, I look and languish, 
In that bonnie face of thine. 
And my heart it stounds wi' anguish 
Lest my wee thing be na mine.

Bonnie wee thing, cannie wee thing, 
Lovely wee thing wer't thou mine. 
I would wear thee in my bosom 
Lest my jewel I should tine.

Wit and grace and love and beauty 
In a constellation shine,
To adore thee is my duty 
Goddess 0' this soul 0' mine.

Wistfully I look and languish 
In that bonnie face of thine. 
And my heart it stounds wi' anguish 
Lest my wee thing be na mine.

Bonnie wee thing, cannie wee thing, 
Lovely wee thing, wer't thou mine. 
I would wear thee in my bosom 
Lest my jewel I should tine.
