I'm in love with a bonnie wee lass\nWee Jean McGregor, oh\nI love her 'cos she's lots of brass\nWee Jean McGregor, oh\nI met her one night at the Spree\nShe was sitting next to me\nI said, 'I love you and you love me\nWee Jean McGregor, oh.'\n\nI soon started making love\nTo Wee Jean McGregor, oh\nI told her that she was a wee dove\nWee Jean McGregor, oh\nShe said, 'Do you think I am?'\nI said, 'Yes, I think you am\nI could eat you like a scone and jam\nWee Jean McGregor, oh.'\n\nAy, and we began to spoon\nMe and Jean McGregor, oh\nIn a cosy corner of our own\nMe and Jean McGregor, 0h\nI said, 'Jean will you be mine?'\nI kissed her and she said it was fine\nSo I kissed her again for Auld Lang Syne\nWee Jean McGregor, oh.\n\nThe next day we went for a sail\nMe and Jean McGregor, oh\nAnd it blew a terrible gale\nOn Wee Jean McGregor, oh\nShe said, 'Sandy, will we sink?'\nI said, 'Oh no I don't think.\nIf we do we'll both get a drink\nMe and you McGregor, oh.'\n\nShe said, 'Sandy, oh I'm sick\nWee Jean McGregor, oh\nI said, 'Dear, and I'm sick too.\nMe and you McGregor, oh.'\nShe was bad she was bye peg (?)\nI could scarcely stand on my legs\nWe fed the fishes on ham and eggs\nMe and Jean McGregor, oh.\n <\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
