| Corn Rigs Are Bonnie |
|
It was upon a Lammas night When corn rigs are bonnie, O! Beneath the moon's unclouded light I held awa' to Annie, O! The time flew by with tentless heed Till 'tween the late and early, O! Wi' smar' persuasion she agreed to See me thro' the barley, O! Chorus: Corn rigs and barley rigs Corn rigs are bonnie I'll ne'er forget that happy night Amang the rigs wi' Annie, O! The sky was blue, the wind was still The moon was shining clearly, O! I set her down wi' right good will Amang the rigs o' barley, O! I kent her heart was a' my ain I loved her most sincerely, O! I kissed her owre and owre again Amang the rigs o' barley, O! I locked in my fond embrace Her heart was beating rarely, O! My blessings on that happy place Amang the rigs o' barley, O! But by the moon and stars so bright That shone that hour so clearly, O! She aye shall bless that happy night Amang the rigs o' barley, O! I hae been blythe wi' comrades dear I hae been merry drinkin', O! I hae been joyful gatherin' gear I hae been happy thinkin', O! But a' the pleasures e'er I saw Tho' three times doubles fairly, O! That happy night was worth them a' Amang the rigs o' barley, O! |
