[00:34.58] Flow gently, sweet Afton,
[00:38.33] among thy green braes
[00:43.02] Flow gently,
[00:44.71] I'll sing thee a song in thy praise
[00:50.65]
[00:51.46] My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream
[00:59.33]
[01:00.27] Flow gently, sweet Afton,
[01:04.08] disturb not her dream
[01:07.24]
[01:25.86] Thou stock dove whose echo resounds thro' the glen
[01:33.17]
[01:34.11] Ye wild whistly blackbirds in yon thorny den
[01:41.99]
[01:43.30] Thou green crested lapwing,
[01:46.74] thy screaming forbear
[01:51.61] I charge you, disturb not my slumbering fair
[02:00.30] Oh, how lofty, sweet Afton,
[02:04.68] thy neighboring hills
[02:09.74] Far mark'd with the courses of clear winding rills
[02:17.30]
[02:18.67] There daily I wander as noon rises high, oooh
[02:30.56]
[02:31.07] My flocks and my Mary's sweet cot in my eye
[02:40.06]
[03:15.06] How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below
[03:22.38]
[03:23.32] Where, wild in the woodlands,
[03:27.57] the primroses blow
[03:31.31]
[03:32.62] There oft, as mild evening sweeps over the lea
[03:40.12]
[03:41.12] The sweet-scented birk shades my Mary and me
[03:48.43]
[03:49.12] Thy crystal stream, Afton,
[03:53.82] how lovely it glides
[03:57.75]
[03:58.56] And winds by the cot where my Mary resides
[04:05.56]
[04:06.93] How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave
[04:14.75]
[04:15.88] As, gathering sweet flowerets,
[04:19.19] she stems thy clear wave
[04:24.93]
[04:41.68] Flow gently, sweet Afton,
[04:45.62] among thy green braes
[04:50.43] Flow gently, sweet river,
[04:54.25] the theme of my lays
[04:58.87] My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream
[05:06.75]
[05:07.25] So flow gently, sweet Afton,
[05:11.62] disturb not her dreams
