False Lover Won Back (Bonnie Love) 
False Lover Won Back (Bonnie Love) 
The sun shines high on yonder hill And low in yonder dell The place where me and my love dwell The sun it never goes doon, bonnie love The sun it never goes doon 
Go saddle to me the bonnie black stead Go saddle to me the broon That I may ride all aroon, bonnie love That I may ride all aroon, bonnie love That I may ride all aroon 
It's when will ye be back, bonnie love It's when will ye be hame When the heather hills are nine time brunt And all grown green again... 
O that's o'er lang tae bid awa That's o'er lang frae hame The baby that's nae born yet Will be o'er lang wantin his name... 
He turned aboot his high horse heid And fast awa rode he And she kilted up her gay clothing And fast, fast followed she... 
Noo the firsten toon that they cam to He bocht her some hose and sheen And he bade her rue and return noo And nae mair follow him... 
It's love for love that I do want Love for love again It's hard when I loe ye sae weel And ye nae me again... 
The neesten toon that they cam to He bocht her a brooch and ring And he bade her rue and return noo And nae mair follow him... 
It's love for love that I do want Love for love again It's hard when I loe ye sae weel And ye nae me again.... 
The neesten toon that they cam to He bocht her a weddin ring And he bade her dry her rosy cheeks And he would tak her wi him... 
It's love for love that I do want Love for love again And there's nane but ye for me, bonnie love There's nane but you for me... 
There's comfort for the comfortless and honey for the bee And there's nane for you but me, bonnie love There's nane for you but me... 
It's love for love that I hae got Love for love again so turn your high horse heid aboot And we will ride for hame...
