| 1. 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, fu’ o’ care! Thou’ll break my heart, thou warbling bird, That wantons through the flow’ring thorn; Thou minds’st me o’ departed joys, Departed, never to return. |
2.Oft’ have I roved by Bonnie Doon, to see the rose and woodbine twine; and ilka bird sang of its love, and fondly so did I of mine. With lightsome heart, I stretched my hand, and pulled a rosebud from the tree. But my false lover stole my rose, and left, and left the thorn with me. |
