BONNIE JEANIE GRAY.
Music by Richard Webster.
Gray? Your mitb-er miss'd ye late at e'en
And eke at break o'
expres.
bon-nie Jean-ie Gray.
I've marked that lonely look o' thine,
My bonnie Jeanie Gray;
I've kent your kindly bosom pine
This mony, mony day.
Ha'e hinnied words o' promise lured
Your guileless heart astray ?
Oh, dinna hide your grief frae me,
My bonnie Jeanie Gray.
Dear sister, sit ye down by me,
And let naebody ken,
For I ha'e promised late yestreen
To wed young Jamie Glen.
The melting tear stood in his e'e,
What heart could say him nay ?
As aft he vow'd, through life I'm thine,
My bonnie Jeanie Gray.
The first and last stanzas of this favourite song were written by William Paul, Glasgow;
the second stanza is from the pen of William Thorn, the Inverury poet The song is inserted
by the permission of the representatives of the late Mr. Paul
