| Where is it O my Mary | A |
| Ye are biding a' the while | E |
| I ha' wended by your window | F |
| I ha' waited by the stile | E |
| An' up an' down the river | G |
| I ha' won for mony a mile | E |
| Yet never found adrift or drown'd | H |
| Your lang belated smile | E |
| - | |
| Is it forgot my Mary | A |
| How glad we used to be | A |
| The simmer time when bonny bloomed | I |
| The auld trysting tree | A |
| How there I carved the name for you | B |
| An' you the name for me | A |
| An' the gloamin' kenned it only | A |
| When we kissed sae tenderly | A |
| - | |
| Speek ance to me my Mary | A |
| But whisper in my ear | J |
| As light as ony sleeper's breath | K |
| An' a' my soul will hear | J |
| My heart shall stap its beating | L |
| An' the soughing atmosphere | M |
| Be hushed the while I leaning smile | E |
| An' listen to you dear | M |

| My Mary O my Mary | A |
| Are ye daughter o' the air | T |
| That ye vanish aye before me | A |
| As I follow everywhere | T |
| Or is it ye are only | A |
| But a mortal wan wi' care | T |
| Syne I search through a' the kirkyird | Q |
| An' I dinna find ye there | T |
