11Coming thro' the craigs of Kyle, Comin' through the craigs o' Kyle,
22Amang the bonnie blooming heather, Amang the bonnie bloomin' heather,
33There I met a bonnie lassie There I met a bonnie lassie
44Keeping a' her ewes thegether1. Keepin' a' her ewes thegither.
55O'er the moor amang the heather, O'er the moor amang the heather,
66O'er the moor amang the heather, O'er the moor amang the heather --
77There I met a bonnie lassie, There I met a bonnie lassie
88Keeping a' her ewes thegether. Keepin'a'her ewes thegither.

1515O'er the moor amang the heather, O'er the moor amang the heather --
1616She said, I tent the fleecy flocks There I met a bonnie lassie
1717That feed amang the blooming heather. Keepin'a'her ewes thegither.

2121By sea and sky! she shall be mine! She left her flocks at large to rove
2222The bonnie lass amang the heather. Amang the bonnie bloomin' heather.

31Was - "O'er the moor amang the heather!"
32O'er the moor amang the heather,
33O'er the moor amang the heather --
34There I met a bonnie lassie

42O'er the moor amang the heather --
43There I met a bonnie lassie
44Keepin'a'her ewes thegither.
