From monologues.co.uk<\/strong>\n\nSometime ago I'd a cold in the chest\nAnd the doctor advised me to go for a rest\nSo I went to the coast for a couple o' weeks\nThe weather was fine and it coloured my cheeks\nI went for a sail ev'ry day I was there\nI didn't care weather rainy or fair\nThe last sail I had was a bumping success\nI got acquainted with Nelly McNess\n\nSo I think I'll get wed in the summer time,\nI think I'll get wed in July\nI think I'll get wed when the roses are red\nAnd the weather is lovely and dry.\nHand in hand together we'll stand\nAt the altar united to be.\nSweethearts forever and ever\nMy Bonnie wee Nelly and me.<\/em>\n\nI'd like to picture this lassie o' mine\nHer hair is like silk and her lips are like wine\nHer shoes they are two's and her Bonnie blue eys\nThey twinkle always like the stars in the skies\nShe sings like a birdie that's building it's nest\nShe's a thing that's good whe's a thing that's best\nShe's almost as perfect as perfect can be\nShe only needs one thing and that one thing is me.\n\nSince I met Nelly the fun has been great,\nI meet her each night at a quarter to eight,\nThen we both go for a walk up the glen\nBut always get back about twenty to ten.\nThen we stand at the gate and we plan and we plot\nWhat we will do with the money she's got.\nLast nicht I told her I thought that she should\nHand it to me so she promised she would.\n\n<\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
