Gloomy winter's now awa 
Soft the westlin' breezes blaw 
‘Mang the birks o' Stanley shaw 
The mavis sings fu' cheerie O 
Sweet the crawflowr's early bell 
Decks Glenifer's dewy dell 
Bloomin' like yer bonnie sel' 
My young my artless dearie O 
Come my lassie let us stray 
O'er Glenkilloch's sunny brae 
And blythely spend the gowden day 
‘Midst joy thats never wearie O 
Tow'ring o'er the Newton woods 
Lav'rocks fan the snow-white clouds 
Siller saughs wi' downy buds 
Adorn the banks saw briery O 
Round the sylvan fairy nooks 
Feath'ry breckans fringe the rocks 
‘Neath the brae the burnie jouks 
And ilka thing is cheerie O 
Trees may bud and birds may sing 
Flowers may bloom and verdue spring 
But joy to me they canna bring 
Unless wi' ye my dearie O
Trees may bud and birds may sing 
Flowers may bloom and verdue spring 
But joy to me they canna bring 
Unless wi' ye my dearie O
