I hail from the flatland's of East Anglia A town that once could boast prosperity She had trekked for many moons from a land afar But the cruel nets had emptied the northern 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! 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
