Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Here is a Lass With a Golden Ring
Here is a Lass With a Golden Ring
Here is a Lass With a Golden Ring
Here is a lass with a golden ring,
Golden ring, golden ring;
Here is a lass with a golden ring,
So early in the morning.
Gentle Johnie kissed her,
Three times blessed her,
Sent her a slice o' bread and butter,
In a silver saucer.
Who shall we send it to,
Send it to, send it to;
Who shall we send it to?
To [Mrs Ritchie's] daughter.
