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 chaunt, ye little birds,
44 And I sae fu' o care! And I'm sae weary 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.

610Thou'll break my heart, thou bonnie bird, Oft hae I rov'd by bonnie Doon,
711 That sings upon the bough; By morning and by evening shine
812Thou minds me o' the happy days To hear the birds sing o' their loves
913 When mv fause love was true. As fondly once I sang o' mine.
1014Wi' lightsome heart I stretch'd my hand
1115Thou'll break my heart, thou bonnie bird, And pu'd a rosebud from the tree.
1216 That sings beside thy mate; But my fause lover stole the rose,
1317For sae I sat, and sae I sang, And left the thorn wi' me.
14 And wist na o' my fate.

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.
