Lyrics
There were two bonnie lasses and they were dressed in wool
And they went out some rushes for to pull
And one o' them caught a wee thing before she did return
And she bundled it and put it in her apron
Oh, the first man that she met was her father on the stairs
Daughter dear daughter what have you got there
Who gave to you the tamosher to wear the starched gown
And you bundled it and put it in your apron
Oh was it to the baker or was it to the clown
Or was it to the bonnie boy that sails the world around
Who gave to you the tamosher to wear the starched gown
And you bundled it and put it in your apron
It wasn't to the baker it wasn't to the clown
It was to the bonnie boy that sails the world around
He gave to me the tamosher to wear the starched gown
And I bundled it and put it in my apron
The were two bonnie lasses and they were dressed in wool
And they went out some rushes for to pull
And one o' them caught a wee thing before she did return
And she bundled it and put it in her apron
And she bundled it and put it in her apron
And she bundled it and put it in her apron
