Within a Mile of Edinburgh Town

?Twas within a mile of Edinburgh town,
In the rosy time of the year,
Sweet flowers bloom?d, and the grass was down,
And each shepherd woo?d his dear;
Bonny Jockey, blythe and gay,
Kiss?d sweet Jenny making hay:
The lassie blush?d, and frowning, cry?d,
No, no, it will not do;
I cannot, cannon, wonnot, wonnot mannot buckle to.

Jockey was a wag that never would wed,
Though long he had follow?d the lass;
Contented she earn?d and ate her brown bread,
And merrily turn?d up the grass;
Bonny Jockey, blythe and free,
Won her heart right merrily;
Yet still she blush?d, and frowning cry?d,
No, no, it will not do,
I cannot, cannot, wonnot, wonnot, mannot buckle to.

But when he vow?d he would make her his bride,
Though his flocks and herds were not few,
She gave him her hand, and a kiss beside,
And vow?d she?d for ever be true,
Bonny Jockey, blythe and free,
Won her heart quite merrily;
At church she no more frowning cry?d,
No, no, it will not do;
It cannot, cannot, wonnot, wonnot, mannot buckle to.
