The robin sings his song by the dairy O | A |
Where the little Jenny wrens cock their tails among the hens | B |
Singing morning's happy songs with Mary O | A |

The swallow's on the wing bonny Mary O | A |
Where the rushes fringe the spring bonny Mary O | A |
Where the cowslips do unfold shaking tassels all of gold | C |
Which make the milk so sweet bonny Mary O | A |

There's the yellowhammer's nest bonny Mary O | A |

On her mystic eggs she dwells with strange writing on their shells | D |
Hid in the mossy grass bonny Mary O | A |

There the spotted cow gets food bonny Mary O | A |
And chews her peaceful cud bonny Mary O | A |
In the mole hills and the bushes and the clear brook fringed with rushes | E |
To fill the evening pail bonny Mary O | A |

The cowpond once agen bonny Mary O | A |
Lies dimpled like thy sen bonny Mary O | A |
Where the gnat swarms fall and rise under evening's mellow skies | F |
And on flags sleep dragon flies bonny Mary O | A |

And I will meet thee there bonny Mary O | A |
When a milking you repair bonny Mary O | A |
And I'll kiss thee on the grass my buxom bonny lass | G |
And be thine own for aye bonny Mary O | A |
