Bonnie Jean Cameron Ye all have heard of bonnie Jean Cameron How she was sick, and was likey to die But the only thing that they could recommend her Was aye blythe blink o' the Young Pretender Chorus: Rare, O rare, bonnie Jean Cameron Rare, O rare, bonnie Jean-O The doctor was sent for to see if he could cure her Quickly he came, he made no delay But the only thing that he could recommend her Was aye blythe blink o' the Young Pretender Chorus Tae Charlie she wrote a very long letter Who were his friends, and who were his foes And all her words were sweet and tender Tae win the heart of the Young Pretender Scarcely had she sealed the letter When up flew the door, and in came her King She prayed to the saints, bade angels defend her Then she fell in the arms o' the Young Pretender Ye all have heard of bonnie Jean Cameron How she was sick, and was likey to die But the only thing that they could recommend her Was aye blythe blink o' the Young Pretender
