Full Lyrics
based on poem by William Hamilton of Bangour (1704–1754)
Busk ye, busk ye, my bonnie, bonnie bride!
Busk ye, busk ye, my winsome lady!
Busk ye, busk ye, my bonnie, bonnie bride,
And wrap thee in thy silken plaidie.
Haste ye, haste, my bonnie bride!
O bride, O haste, and do not fear, nor falter;
Haste ye, haste, my bonnie, bonnie bride!
And tryst wi’ me before the altar.
Be ye blithe, my bonnie bride,
O be ye blithe, and sing, and sing fu’ cheerie;
O be ye blithe, my bonnie, bonnie bride,
For evermore thou’lt be my dearie.
