The first place that I saw my love, it was at a ball I looked at her, I gazed at her, far above them all But aye she looked on me with scorn and disdain And the bonny wee lassie's answer was to no come again Was to no come again And the bonny wee lassie's answer was to no come again
The next place that I saw my love, it was at a wake I looked at her, I gazed at her, I thought my heart would break But aye she looked on me with scorn and disdain And the bonnie wee lassie's answer was to no come again Was to no come again And the bonny wee lassie's answer was to not come again
It being six months after, a little or above When Cupid shot his arrow and he's wounded my true love He's wounded her severely which caused her to complain And she wrote to me a letter sayin' "You might come again" Sayin' "You might come again" And she wrote to me a letter, sayin' "You might come again"
Well, I wrote her back an answer for to let her know While life was in my body t'was there I wouldnae go While life was in my body and while it does remain I will aye mind the girl who said don't come again Who said don't come again I will aye mind the girl who said don't come again
So come all you pretty young fair maids a warning take by me Never slight a young man wherever you may be For if you do you're sure to rue and cause you to complain And you'll aye rue the day that you said, "Don't come again" You said "Don't come again" And you'll aye mind the day that you said, "Don't come again"
