Rhyme Scheme: AAABCCCB DDDBC AAABC AAABC EEEBC| Now simmer blinks on flow'ry braes | A |
| And o'er the crystal streamlet plays | A |
| Come let us spend the lightsome days | A |
| In the birks of Aberfeldie | B |
| Bonnie lassie will ye go | C |
| Will ye go will ye go | C |
| Bonnie lassie will ye go | C |
| To the birks of Aberfeldie | B |

| The little birdies blithely sing | D |
| While o'er their heads the hazels hing | D |
| Or lightly flit on wanton wing | D |
| In the birks of Aberfeldie | B |
| Bonnie lassie will ye go | C |

| The braes ascend like lofty wa's | A |
| The foaming stream deep roaring fa's | A |
| O'er hung wi' fragrant spreading shaws | A |
| The birks of Aberfeldie | B |
| Bonnie lassie will ye go | C |
| - | |
| The hoary cliffs are crown'd wi' flowers | A |
| White o'er the linns the burnie pours | A |
| And rising weets wi' misty showers | A |
| The birks of Aberfeldie | B |
| Bonnie lassie will ye go | C |
| - | |
| Let Fortune's gifts at random flee | E |
| They ne'er shall draw a wish frae me | E |
| Supremely blest wi' love and thee | E |
| In the birks of Aberfeldie | B |
| Bonnie lassie will ye go | C |
