11Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon, Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon,
22how can you bloom so fresh and fair? How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair;
33How can ye chaunt, ye little birds, How can ye chant, ye little birds,
44and I'm so weary, full of care? And I sae weary, fu' o' care!
55Ye'll break my heart, ye warbling birds Thou'lt break my heart, thou warbling bird,
66that wanton on the flow'ry thorn, That wantons thro' the flowering thorn:
77ye mind me o' departed joys, Thou minds me o' departed joys,
88departed, never to return. Departed -- never to return!

1010Oft hae I rov'd by bonnie Doon, Aft hae I rov'd by bonnie Doon,
1111to see the rose and woodbine twine. To see the rose and woodbine twine;
1212And ilka bird sang o' its love, And ilka bird sang o' its luve,
1313and fondly sae did I o' mine. And fondly sae did I o' mine.
1414With lightsome heart I pu'd a rose Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose,
1515fu' sweet upon its tree. Fu' sweet upon its thorny tree;
1616But my false lover stole my rose, And my fause luver stole the rose,
1717and ah! he left the thorn wi' me. But, ah! he left the thorn wi' me.
