| Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon | B |
| How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair | C |
| How can ye chant ye little birds | D |
| And I sae weary fu' o' care | C |
| Thou'lt break my heart thou warbling bird | E |
| That wantons thro' the flowering thorn | B |
| Thou minds me o' departed joys | F |
| Departed never to return | B |

| Aft hae I rov'd by bonnie Doon | B |
| To see the rose and woodbine twine | B |
| And ilka bird sang o' its luve | G |
| And fondly sae did I o' mine | B |
| Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose | H |
| Fu' sweet upon its thorny tree | I |
| And my fause luver stole my rose | H |
| But ah he left the thorn wi' me | I |
