Chorus
Aye no no me love aye no no
The bonnie wee lassie’s answer
Was Aye no no
Farewell to Glasgow city and farewell to Lanarkshire
Farewell my dearest parents , I’ll never see you mair
For I am bound to go my love , where no one shall me know
And the bonnie wee lassie’s answer was aye no no
.
- It’s for the want of pocket money it’s for the want of cash
- makes many a bonnie laddie leave his bonnie lass
- For I am bound to go my love, where no one shall me know
- and the bonnie wee lassie’s answer was aye no no.
The Queen is wanting men they says, and I for one must go
it’s for my very life my dear I dare not answer no
For I am bound to go my love , where no one shall me know
And the bonnie wee lassie’s answer was aye no no
O’ stay at hame my bonnie lass, and dinni gang wi me
For little little dae ye ken the dangers o’ the sea
For I am bound to go my love , where no one shall me know
And the bonnie wee lassie’s answer was aye no no
The fervent love I bear for you is constant true and kind
Your always present tae my view, and never frae my mind
For I am bound to go my love , where no one shall me know
And the bonnie wee lassie’s answer was aye no no
Fareweel tae Cathkin’s sunny braes where oft times we have been
Fareweel unto the banks o’ Clyde, and bonnie Glasgow Green
For I am bound to go my love , where no one shall me know
And the bonnie wee lassie’s answer was aye no no
Who wrote it
Hi Bill, I came across the song a good while back. I remember it was associated with the North East Singers (Scotland) but no writer was mentioned normally goes as TRAD.
