I hail from the flatlands of East Anglia A town that once could boast prosperity She had trekked for many moons from a land afar The cruel nets had emptied the northen sea And she said hoots I cannae get back tae me hoos in bonny Scotland Girl with the hazel eyes Ah Girl with the hazel eyes Ah The elements had taken their toll on her Her face was weather beaten and her hair greasy I had never seen a set of eyes more hazelerer And a tear did fall as she looked up at me And she said hoots I cannae get back tae me hoos in bonny Scotland Girl with the hazel eyes Ah Girl with the hazel eyes Ah yeah I shall travel with thee For to see your folks in Scotland With their blessing on one knee I shall ask for your left hand Girl with the hazel eyes Ah Girl with the hazel eyes Ah Girl with the hazel eyes Ah Girl with the hazel eyes Ah I shall travel with thee For to see your folks in Scotland With their blessing on one knee I shall ask for your left hand
