I love a lassie, a bonnie bonnie lassie,
She's as pure as the lily in the dell,
She's as sweet as the heather,
The bonnie purple heather,
Mary, my Scots bluebell.

You'll hear the ingin singin'
Mary, ma Scots bluebell.

Ye can tell it's co-operative by its smell.

Ye can tell it's co-operative by its smell.

A love a whisky, a Co-operative whisky
Ye can tell it's co-operative by its smell.

Ye can tell it's co-operative by its smell.
If you eat with a neep,

Ye can tell it's co-operative by its smell.
If you spread it wi some cream,
You can hear the cre-am scre-am
Mary, ma Scots bluebell.
