The Shearins No For You by Ed Miller Lyrics

Words and music traditional

Oh the shearin's no for you, my bonnie lassie oh
Oh the shearin's no for you, my bonnie lassie oh
Oh the shearin's no for you, for yer back it winna boo
And yer belly's rowan fu' my bonnie lassie oh

Dae ye mind the banks o' Ayr, my bonnie lassie oh
Dae ye mind the banks o' Ayr, my bonnie lassie oh
Dae ye mind the banks o' Ayr, where my heart ye did ensnare
And yer love ye did declare, my bonnie lassie oh

Tak the ribbons frae yer hair, my bonnie lassie oh
Tak the ribbons frae yer hair, my bonnie lassie oh
Tak the ribbons frae yer hair, and let doon yer ringlets fair
Ye've nocht noo but doul an' care, my bonnie lassie oh

Tak the buckles frae yer shin, my bonnie lassie oh
Tak the buckles frae yer shin, my bonnie lassie oh
Tak the buckles frae yer shin, for ye've wed an unco loon
And yer dancin days are done, my bonnie lassie oh
