| And aye the wild wood echoes rang | D |

| O happy be the woodbine bower | E |
| Nae nightly bogle make it eerie | C |
| Nor ever sorrow stain the hour | E |
| The place and time I met my dearie | E |
| Her head upon my throbbing breast | C |
| She sinking said I'm thine for ever | E |
| While mony a kiss the seal imprest | C |
| The sacred vow we ne'er should sever | E |

| The haunt o' Spring's the primrose brae | E |
| The Simmer joys the flocks to follow | F |
| How cheery thro' her shortening day | E |
| Is Autumn in her weeds o' yellow | F |
| But can they melt the glowing heart | C |
| Or chain the soul in speechless pleasure | E |
| Or thro' each nerve the rapture dart | C |
| Like meeting her our bosom's treasure | E |
