  *++Lyrics:|\\
Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon,\\
How can ye bloom sae fair!\\
How can ye chant, ye little birds,\\
And I sae fu' o' care!\\
\\
Thou'll break my heart, thou bonnie bird\\
That sings upon the bough;\\
Thou minds me o' the happy days\\
When my fause Luve was true.\\
\\
Thou'll break my heart, thou bonnie bird\\
That sings beside thy mate;\\
For sae I sat, and sae I sang,\\
And wist na o' my fate.\\
\\
Aft hae I roved by bonnie Doon\\
To see the woodbine twine,\\
And ilka bird sang o' its love;\\
And sae did I o' mine.\\
\\
Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose\\
Frae aff its thorny tree;\\
And my fause luver staw the rose,\\
But left the thorn wi' me.\\
\\
