| The Thames flows proudly to the sea | B |
| Where royal cities stately stand | C |
| But sweeter flows the Nith to me | B |
| Where Comyns ance had high command | C |
| When shall I see that honour'd land | C |
| That winding stream I love so dear | D |
| Must wayward Fortune's adverse hand | C |
| For ever ever keep me here | E |

| How lovely Nith thy fruitful vales | F |
| Where spreading hawthorns gaily bloom | G |
| How sweetly wind thy sloping dales | F |
| Where lambkins wanton thro' the broom | G |
| Tho' wandering now must be my doom | G |
| Far from thy bonnie banks and braes | F |
| May there my latest hours consume | G |
| Amang the friends of early days | F |
