emily smith - sweet lover of mine lyrics

as i cam o’er by bonny moor hill-
every rose grows bonny in time
i met a wee l-ss, and they ca’ed her nell
longing to be a sweet lover o mine
it’s questions three i’ll ask o thee
every rose grows bonny in time
and it’s questions three you maun answer me
before you are a sweet lover o mine
you maun mak me a cambric shirt
every rose grows bonny in time
withoot one st-tch o your needlework
before you are a sweet lover o mine
you maun wash it in yonder well
every rose grows bonny in time
where water ne’er ran and rain never fell
before you are a sweet lover o mine
then dry it oot on yonder th-rn
every rose grows bonny in time
where blossom ne’er bloomed since adam was born
before you are a sweet lover o mine
it’s questions three you’ve asked o me
every rose grows bonny in time
and it’s questions three you’ll noo answer me
before you are a sweet lover o mine
you maun get me an acre of land
every rose grows bonny in time
atween the saut sea and sea water strand
before you are a sweet lover o mine
then plough it aa wi an auld ram’s h-rn
every rose grows bonny in time
and then sow it o’er wi one grain of corn
before you are a sweet lover o mine
you maun sheer it with a sickle of leather
every rose grows bonny in time
and bind it up wi a peac-ck’s feather
before you are a sweet lover o mine
then stook it o’er on yonder sea
every rose grows bonny in time
and bring the sh-ll sheaf dry unto me
before you are a sweet lover o mine
when you’ve done and finished your work
every rose grows bonny in time
you may call untae me for your cambric shirt
and you shall be a sweet lover o mine
