THE ROCKS OF BONNIE GIBRALTAR. This Popular Song can always be had at the Poet's Box, 224 Overgate, Dundee. The first night I was married, laid in my marriage bed There came a bold sea-captain and stood up at my bed side Says arise arise O young man and go along with me To the rocks of bonnie Gibraltar to fight the enemy. She built her love a bonnie boat and a boat of noble fame There were four-and-twenty mariners to row him back again But the bonnie boat struck on a rock and she down to the bottom of the sea. The rocks of bonnie Gibraltar they have taen my love frae me. The wind it blew courageously and the waving sea did roar But the bonnie boat struck on a rock we shall never see her more The bonnie boat struck on a rock and went to the bottom of the sea Since the rocks of bonnie Gibraltar has taen my love frae me. There's neither water will go on my face nor comb go in my hair There neither coal nor candle light shall shine in my parlour I will never marry anither man until the day that I dee, Since the rocks of bonnie Gibraltar has taen my love frae me O daughter daughter why do you sore lament There's plenty young men in this place that case your heart content, There's plenty young men in this place but there's none to follow me, Since the rocks of bonnie Gibraltar has taen my love frae me. The lowlands are bonnie and there's bonnie folk therein, But there's no an entertainment for a stranger to go in The sugar cane may moulder and sae may the hawthorn tree Since the rocks of bonnie Gibraltar has taen my love frae me.
