Classic Poem

Tune, Ruffian's rant —

In comin by the brig o' Dye,
At Darlet we a blink did tarry;
As day was dawin in the sky
We drank a health to bonie Mary. —

Chorus

Theniel Menzies' bonie Mary,
Theniel Menzies' bonie Mary,
Charlie Grigor tint his plaidie
Kissin Theniel's bonie Mary. —

Her een sae bright, her brow sae white,
Her haffet locks as brown 's a berry;
And ay they dimpl't wi' a smile,
The rosy cheeks o' bonie Mary. —
Theniel Menzies' &c.

We lap and danc'd the lee-lang day,
Till Piper lads were wae and weary;
But Charlie gat the spring to pay
For kissin Theniel's bonie Mary. —
Theniel Menzies' &c.
