Lyrics
- In the hills of Edinburgh, every night
When the daily labor is done
And the girls do sing to a Highland Fling
While the laddie bucks join the fun
It was there I fell in love with a lass
She is braw, bright, bonnie and wee
In plaids and kilt when the bagpipes lilt
She’ll wink a roguish eye at me
Chorus
She is my Bonnie Jean
And I’m her Sandy
She’s just as sweet to me as Taffy candy
My heart is light and free
And I feel dandy
Bonnie Jean MacDonald loves her Sandy
- In the sweet and flowery month of June
To my bonnie lassie I ran
To propose, I meant, I was confident
She would say to me, “You’re the man”
But I lost my courage in sight of her
And I looked for a chance to flee
I blushed so red, not a word I said
She said about the same to me
