lyrics

Gin ye’ll marry me lassie
At the kirk o’ Burnie Bushel
‘Till the day ye dee lassie
Ye will ne’er repent it

Ye will wear when ye are wed
A kirtle and a heiland plaid
And sleep upon a heather bed
Sae couthy an’ sae canty

Ye will gang sae braw lassie
Tae the kirk o Birnie Bushel
Little brogues an’ a’ lassie
Vow but ye’ll be canty

A’ll hunt the otter an’ the brock
The hart, the hare, the heather cock
A’ll pu’ ye limpets frae the rock
Tae mak the dishes dainty

Gin ye’ll marry me lassie
At the kirk o’ Burnie Bushel
‘Till the day ye dee lassie
Ye will ne’er repent it

Gin ye’ll marry me lassie
At the kirk o’ Burnie Bushel
‘Till the day ye dee lassie
Ye will ne’er repent it

and is brought to life by Findlay Napier, Gillian Frame and
producer/multi-instrumentalist Mike Vass.
