|
Ye banks and braes o' bonnie doon |
|
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair? |
|
How can ye chant ye little birds |
|
And i sae weary full o' care? |
|
|
|
Ye'll break my heart ye warbling birds |
|
That wanton through the flowery thorn |
|
Ye 'mind me o' departed joys |
|
Departed never to return |
|
|
|
Oft hae i roved by bonnie doon |
|
To see the rose and woodbine twine |
|
And ilka bird sang o' its love |
|
And fondly sae did i o' mine |
|
|
|
Wi' lightsome heart i pulled a rose |
|
Full sweet upon its thorny tree |
|
And my false lover stole my rose |
|
But ah she left the thorn wi' me |
