Classic Poem

My love she's bonny hale and young
But O' she's got a saucey tongue
She'll frown and jeer for a the year
And winna listen to a song.

My love she's hale and bonny too
Wi' gay straw hat and ribbons blue
Wi' gown O' green and saucey e'en
And lips that part as saucey too.

My love is scarcely in her teens
She's five years wanting sweet sixteen
A lovely girl wi' teeth O' pearl
But no' so kind she might ha' been.

She wants three month O' seventeen
The maiden in her gown O' green
And yet her size wears womans eyes
The prettiest woman ever seen.

She'll kiss and toy behind the screen
The prettiest Maiden ever seen
Wi' apron on she'll talk wi John
A bonny maid o' seventeen.
