Bonnie Jess

Now the shearing time is over, Bonnie Jess
And the sheep are in the clover, Bonnie Jess
By the creek the kine are lowing
And the golden crops are growing

While the setting sun is glowing, Bonnie Jess
And a kiss to you he's blowing, Bonnie Jess
To your face the crimson's rushing, Bonnie Jess
Ah! I know why you are blushing, Bonnie Jess

‘Tis the memory appearing
Of the promise in the clearing

When you said twixt hopе and fearing, Bonnie Jess
You would wеd him after shearing, Bonnie Jess
And now the shearing time is over, Bonnie Jess
And you're looking for your lover, Bonnie Jess

And his horse's hooves are ringing
As along the road he's swinging
And a song for you he's singing, Bonnie Jess
And the wedding ring he's bringing, Bonnie Jess
