Now I met a bonnie lassie
Comin' down the cairnway brae'
And I thought that I would follow her
And see what was her way
She was awful neat and awful sweet
And needless ought to say
She stole away my heart in the morning

Oh Katie
From Aaron's lovely Isle
Won't you cuddle close my lass
And give the lad a smile
I'm a Scotsman and I'm proud of it
But och I'd walk a mile
Just to get a glimpse of you in the morning

Now her mother was O'Rafferty
And came from Donegal
And her father was a sailor man
From anywhere at all
But it only goes to show me lads
The world is very small
Or I never would have met her in the morning

Oh Katie
From Aaron's lovely Isle
Won't you cuddle close my lass
And give the lad a smile
I'm a Scotsman and I'm proud of it
But och I'd walk a mile
Just to get a glimpse of you in the morning

She has said I can come calling
If I really have a mind
With the careless invitation
Of a teasing woan kind
Should I find a way to get there lads
A feeling I was blind
For I followed her myself in the morning

Oh Katie
From Aaron's lovely Isle
Won't you cuddle close my lass
And give the lad a smile
I'm a Scotsman and I'm proud of it
But och I'd walk a mile
Just to get a glimpse of you in the morning

There will be wedding bells a ringing lads
If I can have my way
And the shamrock and the thistle
Be united in a day
In a cottage that i call my own
The darling girl will stay
And I'll have her by myside every morning

Oh Katie
From Aaron's lovely Isle
Won't you cuddle close my lass
And give the lad a smile
I'm a Scotsman and I'm proud of it
But och I'd walk a mile
Just to get a glimpse of you in the morning
Just to get a glimpse of you in the morning
