[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)
