11Now bank and brae are clothed in green,Now bank an' brae are claith'd in green
22 And scattered cowslips sweetly spring; An' scatter'd cowslips sweetly spring,
33By Girvan's fairy haunted streamBy Girvan's fairy haunted stream
44 The birdies flit on wanton wing. The birdies flit on wanton wing.
55To Cassills' banks when ev'ning fa's,To Cassallis' banks when e'ening fa's,
66 There with my Mary let me flee, There wi' my Mary let me flee,
77There catch her ilka glance of love,There catch her ilka glance of love,
88 The bonie blink o' Mary's e'e. The bonnie blink o' Mary's e'e!

1010The man wha boasts o' warld's wealth,The child wha boasts o' warld's wealth,
1111 Is aften laird o' meikle care; Is aften laird o' meikle care;
1212But Mary she is a' my ain,But Mary she is a' my ain,
1313 Ah, Fortune canna gie me mair! Ah, fortune canna gie me mair!
1414Then let me range by Cassills' banks,Then let me range by Cassillis' banks,
1515 Wi' her the lassie dear to me, Wi' her the lassie dear to me,
1616And catch her ilka glance o' love,And catch her ilka glance o' love,
1717 The bonie blink o' Mary's e'e. The bonnie blink o' Mary's e'e!
