Bonny Away

Come with me up to old Dumfries
For to meet there the Anvil Priest
Now the two of us are sixteen
We’ll be headed for Gretna Green
In a book I did read it so
Lovers do to this village go
We’ll be gone in the dead of night
Wednesday we will be man and wife
Come away Bonny come my love, Bonny away (x 2)
We won’t rest on our journey north
In the footsteps of those before
There our travel will be complete
Where old England and Scotland meet
Come away Bonny come my love, Bonny away (x 2)
God speed us there
Even if the storm does break
Let your young heart lead the way
Let your young heart lead the way
Come away Bonny come my love, Bonny away (x 4)
