Lyrics
CHORUS
Pickin’ a bluebell
In the merry month of May,
And suddenly I saw him
Strolling on his way,
Pickin‘ a bluebell
Just the same as I was too.
I thought I could be happy
With a boy like you,

And he turned and smiled at me,
My heart stood still.
I never knew a smile
Could give me such a thrill.
He was a handsome laddie,
And he looked so good.
I promised that I’d meet him
In the bluebell wood.
Half past seven by the old oak tree,
I was waiting anticipating
What would happen to a girl like me.
When he came along (Chorus)

He looked wonderful,
Oh! so wonderful.
How was I to see
He would make a fool of me?
Two cark flashing eyes
Looked like paradise.
My heart flickered like a flame.
What was I to do?
Met my Waterloo.
There I stood for him,
Waiting in the wood for him.
I’m confessin’ I learned my lesson,
And now I’ll never be the same.
Pickin’ a bluebell
In the merry month of May
Is something I’ll remember
When I’m old and grey,
And if I live to ninety-two,
I know darn well,
I never want to see another Scots bluebell.
