Bonnie Kellswater lyrics

[Chorus]
Here's a health unto you, Bonnie Kellswater
For it's there you'll find the pleasures of life
And it's there you'll find a fishing and a farming
And a bonnie wee girl for your wife

[Verse 1]
On the hills and the glens and low valleys
Grows the softest of linen so fine
And the flowers are all dripping with honey
There lives Martha, a true love of mine

[Verse 2]
Lovely Martha, you're the first girl I courted
You're the one put my heart in a snare
And if ever I should lose you to another
I will leave my Kellswater so fair

[Verse 3]
For this one and that one may court her
But no other can take her from me
For I love her as I love my Kellswater
Like the primrose is loved by the bee

[Chorus]
Here's a health unto you, Bonnie Kellswater
For it's there you'll find the pleasures of life
And it's there you'll find a fishing and a farming
And a bonnie wee girl for your wife
