There were twa bonnie lassies and they were dressed in blue And they went out some rushes for tae pu' And yin o' them caught a wee thing before she did return And she bundled it and put it in her apron Well, the first man that she met was her faither on the stair Oh 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 There were twa bonnie lassies and they were dressed in blue And they went out some rushes for tae pu' And yin o' them caught a wee thing before she did return And she bundled it and put it in her apron.
