Ye Banks and Braes (reinhören)
Ye banks and
braes o' bonnie Doon,
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
How can ye chant ye little birds,
And I sae weary, fu' o' care?
2. Ye'll break
my heart, ye warbling birds,
That wantons
through the flow'ry thorn,
Ye 'mind me o' departed joys,
Departed never to return.
3. Oft hae
I rov'd by bonnie Doon,
To see the rose and woodbine twine;
When every bird sang o' its love,
And fondly sae did I o' mine.
4. Wi' lightsome
heart I pu'd a rose,
Fu' sweet upon its thorny tree;
But my false lover stole my rose,
And, oh! she
left the thorn with me.
