Summer days and heather bells
Come soondin' owre yon high, high hills
There's yellow corn in a' the fields
And autumn brings the shearin'.
Bonnie lassie, will ye gang
And shear wi' me the hale day lang?
And love will cheer us as we gang
Tae join yon band o' shearers.
And if the weather be's owre hot
I'll cast my cravat and my coat
And shear wi' ye amang the lot
When we gang tae the shearin'.
Bonnie lassie, will ye gang
And shear wi' me the hale day lang?
And love will cheer us as we gang
Tae join yon band o' shearers.
And if the thistle be's owre strang
And pierce your lily milk-white hand
It's wi' my hook I'll cut them down
When we gang tae the shearin'.
Bonnie lassie, will ye gang
And shear wi' me the hale day lang?
And love will cheer us as we gang
Tae join yon band o' shearers.
Oh and if the weather be's owre dry
They'll say that there's love twixt you and I
But we'll slyly pass each other by
As we hark tae the shearin'.
Bonnie lassie, will ye gang
And shear wi' me the hale day lang?
And love will cheer us as we gang
Tae join yon band o' shearers.
And when the shearin' it is done
And slowly sets the evening sun
We'll hae some rantin' roarin' fun
And forget all the toils o' shearin'.
Bonnie lassie, will ye gang
And shear wi' me the hale day lang?
And love will cheer us as we gang
Tae join yon band o' shearers.
