| For a good day's fishing the angler is seldom at a loss | A |
| For the Loch it abounds with pike and trout | B |
| Which can be had for the catching without any doubt | B |
| And the scenery around it is most beautiful to be seen | C |
| Especially the Castle wherein was imprisoned Scotland's ill starred Queen | C |
| - | |
| Then there's the lofty Lomond Hills on the Eastern side | D |
| And the loch is long very deep and wide | D |
| Then on the Southern side there's Benarty's rugged hills | A |
| And from the tops can be seen the village of Kinross with its spinning mills | A |
| - | |
| The big house of Kinross is very handsome to be seen | C |
| With its beautiful grounds around it and the lime trees so green | C |
| And 'tis a magnificent sight to see on a fine summer afternoon | E |
| The bees extracting honey from the leaves when in full bloom | F |
| - | |
| There the tourist can enjoy himself and while away the hours | A |
| Underneath the lime trees shady bowers | A |
| And listen to the humming of the busy bees | A |
| While they are busy gathering honey from the lime trees | A |
| - | |
| Then there's the old burying ground near by Kinross | A |
| And the dead that lie there turned into dusty dross | A |
| And the gravestones are all in a state of decay | G |
| And the old wall around it is mouldering away | G |
