Bonnie Wee Jeannie McColl
(John White [1973], arrang. J. Ferguson, Dec. 2013)

126 bpm

Chorus:
G
Oh, she’s a fine wee lass, a bonnie wee lass,
C
is bonnie wee Jeannie McColl;
D
I gave her me mother's engagement ring
D7 G
and a bonnie wee tartan shawl.
G
I met her at a weddin'
C
in the Co-operative Hall.
D
I was the best man;
D7 G
she was the belle of the ball.

Interlude: D D7 G

V1.
The very first night I met her,
she was awfy, awfy shy.
The rain came pourin' doon,
but she was happy; so was I.
We ran like mad for shelter,
‘till we landed up a stair.
The rain came pourin' out me britches:
Och!, I didna care.

Chorus:

V2.
Now I have wed me Jeannie,
an' bairnies we have three:
two lassies and a braw wee lad,
that sits upon me knee.
They're right full holy terrors,
an' they're never still for lang,
but they gather round me every night,
while I sing to them this sang.

Chorus: [repeat final line]
