[C]Here's a health to you, bonnie Kells[Am]water 
For its there you'll find the [C]pleasures of [Am]life[D] 
And its [C]there you'll find a fishing and [Am]farming 
And a [C]bonnie wee [G]girl for your [C]wife[G] 

On the [C]hills and the glens and the [Am]valleys 
Grows the softest of [C]Linen so [Am]fine[D] 
And the [C]flowers are all dripping with [Am]honey 
There lives [C]Martha, a [G]true love of [C]mine[G] 

Bonnie [C]Martha, you're the first girl I [Am]courted 
It was [C]you put my heart in a [Am]snare [D]
And if [C]ever I should lose you to a[Am]nother 
I will [C]leave my Kells[G]water so [C]fair[G] 

For it's[C] this one and that one may [Am]court her 
But no [C]other can take her from [Am]me[D] 
For I [C]love her as I love my Kells[Am]water 
Like the [C]primrose is [G]loved by the [C]bee[G]
