11Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon,Ye flowery banks o' bonnie Doon,
22How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair? How can ye bloom sae fair?
33How can ye chaunt, ye little birds,How can ye chant, ye little birds,
44And I'm sae weary fu' o' care? And I sae fu' o care!
5Ye'll break my heart, ye warbling bird,
6That warbles on the flowry thorn,
7Ye mind me o' departed joys.
8Departed never to return.

106Oft hae I rov'd by bonnie Doon,Thou'll break my heart, thou bonnie bird,
117By morning and by evening shine That sings upon the bough;
128To hear the birds sing o' their lovesThou minds me o' the happy days
139As fondly once I sang o' mine. When mv fause love was true.
1410Wi' lightsome heart I stretch'd my hand
1511And pu'd a rosebud from the tree.Thou'll break my heart, thou bonnie bird,
1612But my fause lover stole the rose, That sings beside thy mate;
1713And left the thorn wi' me.For sae I sat, and sae I sang,
14 And wist na o' my fate.
15
16Aft hae I rov'd by bonnie Doon
17 To see the woodbine twine,
18And ilka bird sang o' its love;
19 And sae did I o' mine.
20
21Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose,
22 Frae aff its thorny tree;
23And my fause luver staw the rose,
24 But left the thorn wi' me.
