Hey The Bonnie Breast Knots, John Sinclair

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Hey the bonnie, ho the bonnie, hey the bonnie breast knots
Blithe and merry were they a' when they put on the breast knots
There was a bridal in this town
And till't the lasses were a'boun' wi' mankie facings on their gown
And some of them had breast knots
Singing Hey the bonnie, ho the bonnie, hey the bonnie breast knots
Blithe and merry were they a' when they put on the breast knots

At nine o'clock the lads convene
Some clad in blue some clad in green
Wi' shinin' buckles in their sheen
And flow'rs upon their waistcoats …

When The Morning First Dawns, Air, W. M. Rooke

Historic Sheet Music Collection

When the morning first dawns, we will seek the green hill,
Before the horn form the peak wakes the plain,
Before the horn from the peak wakes the plain;
And list to the hum of the wild mountains rill,
Or join with pure hearts in the lark's thrilling strain,
Or join with pure hearts in the lark's thrilling strain,
the lark's thrilling strain, or join with pure hearts in the lark's thrilling strain,
Hail hail the fresh morn list the chirp of the birds,
Hark the pipe of the shepherd hark the low of the herds,
While distant and dying …
