| I hear the whaup on windy days | E |
| Cry up amang the peat | F |
| Whaur on the road that speels the braes | E |

| An' maybe when I'm up the hill | H |
| An' stand abune the steep | I |
| I'll turn aince mair to look my fill | H |
| On my ain auld flock o' sheep | I |
| An' I'll leave them lyin' sae white an' still | H |
| On the quiet braes asleep | I |
