Chorus

And I’ll kiss thee yet, yet,And I’ll kiss thee o’er again:And I’ll kiss thee yet, yet,My bonie Peggy Alison.4
Ilk care and fear, when thou art nearI evermair defy them, O!Young kings upon their hansel throneAre no sae blest as I am, O!8

Chorus

And I’ll kiss thee yet, yet,And I’ll kiss thee o’er again:And I’ll kiss thee yet, yet,My bonie Peggy Alison.12
When in my arms, wi’ a’ thy charms,I clasp my countless treasure, O!I seek nae mair o’ Heaven to shareThan sic a moment’s pleasure, O!16

Chorus

And I’ll kiss thee yet, yet,And I’ll kiss thee o’er again:And I’ll kiss thee yet, yet,My bonie Peggy Alison.20
And by thy een sae bonie blue,I swear I’m thine for ever, O!And on thy lips I seal my vow,And break it shall I never, O!24

Chorus

And I’ll kiss thee yet, yet,And I’ll kiss thee o’er again:And I’ll kiss thee yet, yet,My bonie Peggy Alison.28
