Bogies Bonny Belle

G

[Verse]

          C             D
As I gaed in by Huntley toon
    Em              D
Yin morning for tae fee
       C               Dm  F
I fell in wi' Bogie o' Cairnie
        C          D
And wi' him I did agree

[Verse]

    G       C        D
Tae ca' his twa best horses
   Em                D
Or cairt or harry or pleugh
       C         Dm        F
Or dae onything aboot fairmwork
  C               D
I very well could do

[Verse]

    G     C     D
Now Bogie had a daughter
        Em          D
And her name was Isabelle
            C             Dm F
She was the flower o' the valley
        C               D
And the primrose o' the dell

[Verse]

    G        C        D
And when she gaed oot walkin'
    Em               D
She chose me for her guide
     C              Dm  F
Down by the burn o' Cairnie
    C                 D
Tae watch sma' fishes glide

[Verse]

    G           C            D
The first three months being past and o'er
     Em              D
This lassie lost her bloom
        C                 Dm    F
An' the red fell frae her rosey cheeks
        C             D
And her eyes began to swoon

[Verse]

     G         C           D
When nine long months were past and gane
            Em             D
She brought forth tae me a son
    C             Dm     F
And I was quickly called for
    C                 D
Tae see what could be done

[Verse]

  G         C       D
I said that I would marry her
    Em             D
But no, that wudna do
             C                  Dm     F
For, "You're no' a match for ma bonnie Belle
          C               D
An' she's no' a match for you"

[Verse]

      G         C             D
Well, now she's married tae a tinkler chiel
    Em               D
Wha bides in Huntley toon
         C                 Dm       F
He mends pots and pans and paraffin lamps
       C                  D
An' he scours the country roon

[Verse]

         G           C        D
Aye, an' maybe she's gotten a better lad
     Em          D
Auld Bogie canna tell
       C               Dm    F
So fareweel ye lads o' Huntlyside
    C              D
And Bogie's bonnie Belle
