11Ye flowery banks o' bonnie Doon, Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon,
22 How can ye bloom sae fair? How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair;
33How can ye chant, ye little birds, How can ye chant, ye little birds,
44 And I sae fu' o care! And I sae weary, fu' o' care!
5Thou'lt break my heart, thou warbling bird,
6 That wantons thro' the flowering thorn:
7Thou minds me o' departed joys,
8 Departed -- never to return!
59
610Thou'll break my heart, thou bonnie bird, Aft hae I rov'd by bonnie Doon,
711 That sings upon the bough; To see the rose and woodbine twine;
812Thou minds me o' the happy days And ilka bird sang o' its luve,
913 When mv fause love was true. And fondly sae did I o' mine.
1014Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose,
1115Thou'll break my heart, thou bonnie bird, Fu' sweet upon its thorny tree;
1216 That sings beside thy mate; And my fause luver stole the rose,
1317For sae I sat, and sae I sang, But, ah! he left the thorn wi' me.
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.
