Sing a song of Bonnie Scotland

Sing a song of Bonnie Scotland
Written and composed by AJ Mills and Bennett Scott. Sung by Miss Lily Morris
From Sheet Music Published in Weekly Despatch (1913)

Far away on lonely prairie land
As the night-time shadows grow
Sat a rough but merry crowd of men,
Singing all the songs they new,
Till the fiddler stopped his merry tune;
And turning around said he,
To a Hieland laddie standing by,
Just awa' from old Dundee.

Sing us a song of Bonnie Scotland.
Any old song will do.
Round the old camp fire.
A rough and ready choir.
Join in the chorus too.
"You take the High Road and I'll take the Low,
Is a song that we all know.
Twill remind the boys of Bonnie Scotland 
Where the Heather and bluebells grow"

Soon a hush fell on the miners camp
As the rough and ready throng
Waited for that stalward laddie there
To begin that old Scotch song.
But the boy was dreaming, all the while
Of Scotland his native shore
And a Bonnie lassie he loved well
Till the words he heard once more -

"Won't you sing Loch Lomond for the boys?"
Said the fiddler, "and I'll play.
Give us Bonnie Mary of Argyll
Or that sweet song Robin Gray
I can tell your heart is feeling sad
But cheer up and do not pine
For some day luck may come your way,
So tonight for Auld Lang Syne"-
