# Bonie Dundee

## Song
My blessin’s upon thy sweet wee lippie!  
My blessin’s upon thy e’e-brie!  
Thy smiles are sae like my blythe sodger laddie,  
Thou’s aye the dearer, and dearer to me!

But I’ll big a bow’r on yon bonie banks,  
Whare Tay rins wimplin’ by sae clear;  
An’ I’ll cleed thee in the tartan sae fine,  
And mak thee a man like thy daddie dear.
