Tune-"The Birks of Abergeldie."
Chorus. -Bonie lassie, will ye go, / Will ye go, will ye go, / Bonie lassie, will ye go / To the birks of Aberfeldy!
Now Simmer blinks on flowery braes, / And o'er the crystal streamlets plays; / Come let us spend the lightsome days, / In the birks of Aberfeldy. / Bonie lassie, &c.
While o'er their heads the hazels hing, / The little birdies blythely sing, / Or lightly flit on wanton wing, / In the birks of Aberfeldy. / Bonie lassie, &c.
The braes ascend like lofty wa's, / The foaming stream deep-roaring fa's, / O'erhung wi' fragrant spreading shaws- / The birks of Aberfeldy. / Bonie lassie, &c.
The hoary cliffs are crown'd wi' flowers, / White o'er the linns the burnie pours, / And rising, weets wi' misty showers / The birks of Aberfeldy. / Bonie lassie, &c.
Let Fortune's gifts at randoe flee, / They ne'er shall draw a wish frae me; / Supremely blest wi' love and thee, / In the birks of Aberfeldy. / Bonie lassie, &c.
