My Sandy gied to me a ring,Was a’ beset wi’ diamonds fine;But I gied him a far better thing,I gied my heart in pledge o’ his ring.
Chorus
My Sandy O, my Sandy O,My bonie, bonie Sandy O;Tho’ the love that I oweTo thee I dare na show,Yet I love my love in secret, my Sandy O.My Sandy brak a piece o’ gowd,While down his cheeks the saut tears row’d;He took a hauf, and gied it to me,And I’ll keep it till the hour I die.My Sand O, &c.
