Intro
Up the Noran Water,
Roon by Ingle's Maddie,
Annie's got a bairnie,
That hasna got a daddy.
And wha the bairnie's faither is
The lassie wilna say
And naebody expected it
Wi Annies quiet ways
Up the Noran Water,
The Bonnie little mannie,
Is dandled an' cuddled close
By Inglesmaddy's Annie.
Wha the bairnie's faither is,
The lassie wilna says:
But some think it's Tammas's,
An' ithers think it's Chae's.
Up the Noran Water,
The country folk are kind;
An' wha the bairnie's faither is
They dinna muckle mind.
But oh! the bairn at Annie's breist,
The love in Annie's ee --
Wid mak me wish wi' a my micht
The lucky lad wis me.
