Bonny Glen Shee
  or BUSK BUSK BONNIE LASSIE

Oh, do you see yon shepherds,
As they walk along
With their plaidies pulled aboot them
And their sheep they graze on

  Busk, busk, bonnie lassie
  And come along wi' me
  And I'll take ye tae Glen Isla
  Near Bonnie Glen Shee

Oh do you see yon soldiers
As they all march along
Wi' their guns on their shoulders
And their broadswords hanging down

Oh do you see yon high hills
All covered with snow
They hae parted many a true love
And they'll soon part us twa

from the singing of Belle Stewart
recorded by her on Queen Among the Heather
