Bogie’s Bonnie Belle Lyrics by Daoirí Farrell

Daoirí Farrell with Dónal Lunny

2017

[Verse 1]
As I rode down by Huntley town one evening for to fee
I met with Bogie O' Cairnie and with him I did agree
To care for his two best horses or cart or harrow or plow
Or anything about farmwork that I very well should know
[Verse 2]
Well ol' Bogie he had a daughter and her name was Isabelle
She's was the lily of the valley and primrose of the dell
And when she went a walking, oh she took me for her guide
Down by the Burn of Cairnie for to watch the small fish glide
[Verse 3]
And when three months were passed and gone
Well this girl lost her bloom
And the the red fell from her rosy cheeks
And her eyes began to swoon
And then another six months they were passed and gone
And she bore to me a son
And I was straight sent for to see what could be done
[Verse 4]
Well I said that I would marry her
Oh but no, this would never do
For you're no match for them bonnie wee girl
And she's no match for you
And now she's married to a tinker lad
Who comes from Huntley town
He sells pots and pans and paraffin lamps
And he scours the country 'round
[Verse 5]
And maybe she's had a better match
Ol' Bogie he can nae tell
So fare thee well me boys o' Huntley town
And to Bogie's bonnie belle
