Chorus
Lack-a-day lack-a-day lack-a-day oh!
Sing me a wee song that I can sing, oh!
Dance me a wee jig and I will stay, oh!
All the day and all through the night.

I met you on a fine fall day
Lack-a-day lack-a-day lack-a-day oh!
Pretty as a robin in the month of May
Lack-a-day lack-a-day lack-a-day oh!
Bonnie lass, give me a glance, I pray
Lack-a-day lack-a-day lack-a-day oh!
More I am too shy to say
Lack-a-day lack-a-day lack-a-day oh!

Chorus

Sparkling eyes and turned up nose
With golden hair and lips of rose
Bonnie lass, where e’er this boy goes
Count him, please, among your beaus

Chorus

Instrumental

Bonnie lass, my wife you must be
It’s clear that you were meant for me
Our love is plain for all to see
Let joy filled hearts now set us free

Chorus
