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
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
Come away Bonny come my love, Bonny away We wont rest on our journey north,
In the footsteps of those before,
There our travel will be complete,
Where old England and Scotland meet
Come away Bonny come my love, Bonny away God speed us there
Even if the storm does break
Let your young heart lead the way
Let your young heart lead the way
Come with me up to old Dumfries,
For to meet there the Anvil Priest
Come away Bonny come my love, Bonny away
