O, whaur are ye gaun, my bonnie wee lass?
Whaur are ye gaun, my dearie?
Whaur are ye gaun, my bonnie wee lass?
A message tae my mammy.
Chorus: A ha-cha-cha-chee, an' a ha-cha-cha-chaw,
A ha-cha-cha-chee an' a dandy;
A ha-cha-cha-chee, an' a ha-cha-cha-chaw,
A message tae my mammy.
O what is your name, my bonnie wee lass?
What is your name, my dearie?
What is your name, my bonnie wee lass?
My mammy ca's me Nancy.
Can I get a kiss my bonnie wee lass?
Can I get a kiss, my dearie?
Can I get a kiss my bonnie wee lass?
I'll hae tae ask my mammy.
