Yon, Yon, Yon, Lassie

Robert Burns (1759โ€“1796)

The Merry Muses of Caledonia

O, yon, yon, yon, lassie,Yon, yon, yon,I never met a bonny lass,But I wad play at yon.

O yon, yon, &c.

I never saw a silken gown,But I wad kiss the sleeve o't;I never saw a maidenhead,That I wad spier the leave o't.

O yon, yon, &c.

Tell na me o' Meg my wife,Her crowdie has na savour,But gie to me a bonny lass,And let me steal the favour.

O yon, yon, &c.

Gie me her I kissed yestreen,I vow but she was handsome,For ilka hair upon her cโ€”t,Was worth a royal ransom.

O yon, yon, &c.
