s of Bonnie Dundee. Come fill up my cup, come fill up my can, Come saddle my horses and call out my men, Unhook the west port, and let us gae free, For it's up with the bonnets of Bonnie Dundee. Dundee he is mounted, he rides up the street, The bells they ring backward, the drums they are beat, But the Provost (douce man) said, "Just e'en let it be, For the town is well rid o' that deil o' Dundee." Come fill up my cup, come fill up my can, etc. There are hills beyond Pentland, and lands beyond Forth; If there's lords in the south, there are chiefs in the north, There are brave Dunevassals, three thousand times three, Will cry hey! for the bonnets of Bonnie Dundee.

But let him bang his belly full, I'll bear it all for Sally: She is the darling of my heart, And she lives in our alley. Of all the days that's in the week, I dearly love but one day; And that's the day that comes betwixt A Saturday and Monday. For then I'm dress'd all in my best, To walk abroad with Sally: She is the darling of my heart, And she lives in our alley. My master carries me to church, And often am I blamed Because I leave him in the lurch As soon as text is named. I leave the church in sermon time, And slink away to Sally: She is the darling of my heart, And she lives in our alley.
