Never, never, never had so far to travel
Through the dust and the gravel
And through the green forests that cover the land
And that is what is always calling me onward
Leave you only with fondness and thanks for your kindness
As I take both your hands
A beautiful songbird is singing to me
So sweet and so bonnie is she
That the flowers turn to greet her
And if I were to meet you tomorrow
For the very first time
Would you be a true lover of mine?
Da daa de dum daa de dum daa de dum da
Never, never, never had so much to utter
But a spell in the gutter can work on the tongue
Keep it still in the head
We could talk the back legs off all of the horses
In all of the stables and I wish we were able
And I wish we could stay
But a beautiful songbird is singing to me
So sweet and so bonnie is she
That the flowers turn to greet her
And if I were to meet you tomorrow
For the very first time
Would you be a true lover of mine?
Da daa de dum daa de dum daa de dum da
Da daa de dum daa de dum daa de dum da
Never, never, never had so much to offer
So why must we suffer
And why must it always feel this hard?
When the sun is out the grass is greener
The Sweet Pea and Camelia
The Moss and the blossom that maketh your bed
But a beautiful songbird is singing to me
So sweet and so bonnie is she
That the flowers turn to greet her
And if I were to meet you tomorrow
For the very first time
Would you be a true lover of mine?
Da daa de dum daa de dum daa de dum da
Da daa de dum daa de dum daa de dum da
Da daa de dum daa de dum daa de dum da
Da daa de dum daa
