Old Blind Dogs - Bogies bonny belle

Ae ^AmWhitsunday in ^GHuntly toon, it's ^Em7there I did ^Fagree Wi' ^CBogie ^Fside o' Cair^Gnie, a ^Dm7six-months for tae ^Gfee Tae ^Cdrive his ^Ftwa best horses, like^Amwise his cairt and plo^Fo ^Em And tae ^Dm7dee a ^Cthing a^Fboot the fairm, that ^Amricht weel I could ^Gdo

Noo ^AmBogie had a d^Gochter wha's ^Em7name was Ysa^Fbelle The ^Cfloo'er ^Fo' her na^Gtion, there's ^Dm7nane her could ex^Gcel She had ^Crosy ^Fcheeks and ruby lips and ^Amhair a darkish ^Fhue ^Em She was ^Dm7neat, com^Cplete and hand^Fsome and ^Amcomely for tae ^Gview

One ^Amday she went a-^Gramblin' and ^Em7chose me for her ^Fguide Tae ^Ctak' a ^Fpleasant walk wi' ^Gher a^Dm7lang by Cairnie^Gside I have ^Cslipped my ^Fairm aboot her waist and ^Amtae the groond did ^Fslide ^Em And it's ^Dm7there I've ^Chad ma ^Ffirst braw nicht wi' the ^AmBelle o' Bogie^Gside

The ^Amblackbird sang sae ^Gsweetly, the ^Em7mavis sang sae ^Fshrill And ^Ca' the ^Fchorus o' their ^Gsang was, "^Dm7There lies Bogie's ^GBelle" A^Cmang the ^Fweeds o' Cairnie, u^Ampon the grass sae ^Fgreen ^Em Then ^Dm7she and ^CI rose up a^Fgain for ^Amfear we would be ^Gseen

'Ere ^Amtwenty weeks had ^Gpassed and gone, this ^Em7lassie lost her ^Fbloom Her ^Crosy ^Fcheeks grew pale and ^Gwan, and ^Dm7she began tae ^Gswoon 'Ere ^Cforty ^Fweeks had passed and gone, this ^Ammaid brought forth a ^Fson ^Em And ^Dm7I was ^Cquickly ^Fsent for tae ^Amsee what could be ^Gdone

Auld ^AmBogie heard my ^Gstory and ^Em7cried, "I am un^Fdone Since ^Cye be^Fguiled my doch^Gter, my ^Dm7sorrows are be^Ggun" Ah ^Csays, "Auld ^Fman, ye're fairly richt," and I ^Amhung my heid in ^Fshame ^Em "I'll ^Dm7mairry ^CBelle the ^Fmorning, Ah'll ^Amgie the bairn ma ^Gname"

But ^Amthough I said I'd ^Gwad the lass, na, ^Em7na, that wouldnae ^Fdae "Ye're ^Cnae a ^Ffittin' match for ^GBelle, nor ^Dm7she a match for ^Gye" And he ^Csent me ^Fpackin' doon the road wi' ^Amnae penny o' ma ^Ffee ^Em Sae ^Dm7a' ye ^Clads o' ^FHuntly toon, a ^Amlang fareweel tae ^Gye

And ^Amnoo she's mairried wi' a ^Gtinklerlad wha's ^Em7name is Soutar ^FJohn He ^Chawks his ^Fpans and la^Gdles a^Dm7roon' by Fogie^Gloan And ^Cmaybe she's ^Fgot a better match, auld ^AmBogie canna ^Ftell ^Em But it's ^Dm7me wha's ^Cta'en the ^Fmaidenheid o' ^AmBogie's bonnie ^GBelle
