  • Oh, my love said to me, "Will you meet me by the sea?
    You can kiss me underneath the misty moon"
    She is stunning, she is pretty, she's as warm as amber whisky
    And as bonny as the heather on the hill
    (Oh, my love)

    When I was a young boy, my mother said to me
    "Find yourself a pretty lass, don't take her love for free"
    From fields of Aberfeldy to the shores of Loch Maree
    I know that she's the only one for me

    Oh, my love said to me, "Will you meet me by the sea?
    You can kiss me underneath the misty moon"
    She is stunning, she is pretty, she's as warm as amber whisky
    And as bonny as the heather on the hill
    Oh, my love

    She is stunning, she is pretty, she's as warm as amber whisky
    And as bonny as the heather on the hill

    She was dancing by the fire as a piper played a tune
    She wrapped her arms around me and she asked, "Are you my groom?"
    A dram of amber whisky and a twinkle in her eye
    We danced beneath the Caledonia sky

    Oh, my love said to me, "Will you meet me by the sea?
    You can kiss me underneath the misty moon"
    She is stunning, she is pretty, she's as warm as amber whisky
    And as bonny as the heather on the hill
    Oh, my love

    Oh, my love
    She is stunning, she is pretty, she's as warm as amber whisky
    And as bonny as the heather on the hill Writer/s: Alan Jukes, Lewis Gardiner, Nathan Evans, Stephen Jukes
