Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Come with me up to old Dumfries
For to meet there the Anvil Priest
Now the two of us are sixteen
We’ll be headed for Gretna Green

[Verse 2]
In a book I did read it so
Lovers do to this village go
We’ll be gone in the dead of night
Wednesday we will be man and wife

[Chorus]
Come away Bonny come my love, Bonny away (x 2)

[Verse 3]
We won't rest on our journey north
In the footsteps of those before
There our travel will be complete
Where old England and Scotland meet

[Chorus]
Come away Bonny come my love, Bonny away (x 2)

[Bridge]
God speed us there
Even if the storm does break
Let your young heart lead the way
Let your young heart lead the way

[Chorus]
Come away Bonny come my love, Bonny away (x 4)
