# Lady Onlie, Honest Lucky

## Song
A’ The lads o’ Thorniebank,  
When they gae to the shore o’ Bucky,  
They’ll step in an’ tak a pint  
Wi’ Lady Onlie, honest Lucky.

*Chorus*  
Lady Onlie, honest Lucky,  
Brews gude ale at shore o’ Bucky;  
I wish her sale for her gude ale,  
The best on a’ the shore o’ Bucky.

Her house sae bien, her curch sae clean  
I wat she is a daintie chuckie;  
And cheery blinks the ingle-gleed  
O’ Lady Onlie, honest Lucky!

*Chorus*  
Lady Onlie, honest Lucky,  
Brews gude ale at shore o’ Bucky;  
I wish her sale for her gude ale,  
The best on a’ the shore o’ Bucky.
