Lady Onlie, Honest Lucky


Tune ·  The Ruffian’s Rant

A’ The lads o’ Thorniebank,When they gae to the shore o’ Bucky,They’ll step in an’ tak a pintWi’ 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 cleanI wat she is a daintie chuckie;And cheery blinks the ingle-gleedO’ 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.
