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.
