Bonnie Kellswater lyrics

Here's a health to you, bonnie Kellswater

For its there you'll find the pleasures of life

And its there you'll find a fishing and farming

And a bonnie wee girl for your wife

On the hills and the glens and the valleys

Grows the softest of women so fine

And the flowers are all dripping with honey

There lives Martha, a true love of mine

Bonnie 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

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

Here's a health to you, bonnie Kellswater

For its there you'll find the pleasures of life

And its there you'll find a fishing and farming

And a bonnie wee girl for your wife
