Noo My Boonie lass wis hard to find her face so fair sae true sae kind her voice sae sweet my heart tae fill my countess o' the rolling hills
When she pulls her hair back aff her face, her swan like neck sae full O' grace
She aftimes brought my een tae tears, Ive loved her ah these years.
Noo her shape sae comly yet sereen her eyes sae bright sae grey sae green
we rode on high like king and queen, my lassie o' so fair
I hear the sound o' my dogs on the kitchen flair, they fecht for scraps allow my chair
I chase my gracie up the stair to see afore I go.
For I must haste and gang awa tae fight a war we my King ana , but ill be back afore the snaw to see my bonnie bairn
noo when I return tae you somehow ill tend my sheep and ca my plough as lang as you are waiting still my countess O' the rolling hills
REPEAT FIRST VERSE

The song is a Romantic story of a farmer/soldier who has found his perfect love but he must go off to war to fight for his king and country and he hopes that on his return she has waited for him.
