11Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon,Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon,
22 How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair;How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
33How can ye chant, ye little birds,How can ye chaunt, ye little birds,
44 And I sae weary, fu' o' care!And I'm sae weary fu' o' care?
55Thou'lt break my heart, thou warbling bird,Ye'll break my heart, ye warbling bird,
66 That wantons thro' the flowering thorn: That warbles on the flowry thorn,
77Thou minds me o' departed joys,Ye mind me o' departed joys.
88 Departed -- never to return!Departed never to return.

1010Aft hae I rov'd by bonnie Doon,Oft hae I rov'd by bonnie Doon,
1111 To see the rose and woodbine twine;By morning and by evening shine
1212And ilka bird sang o' its luve,To hear the birds sing o' their loves
1313 And fondly sae did I o' mine.As fondly once I sang o' mine.
1414Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose,Wi' lightsome heart I stretch'd my hand
1515 Fu' sweet upon its thorny tree;And pu'd a rosebud from the tree.
1616And my fause luver stole the rose,But my fause lover stole the rose,
1717 But, ah! he left the thorn wi' me.And left the thorn wi' me.
