W:Now simmer blinks on flow'ry braes,
W:And oe'r the crystal streamlet plays.
W:Come let us spend the lightsome days
W:In the birks of Aberfeldie.
W:
W:While o'er their heads the hazels hing,
W:The little birdies blythely sing,
W:Or lightly flit on wanton wing,
W:In the briks o' Aberfeldie.
W:Bonnie lassie &c.
W:
W:The braes ascend like lofty wa's,
W:The foamin' stream deep roarin' fa's,
W:O'erhung wi'fragrant spreadin' shaws,
W:The birks o' Aberfeldie.
W:Bonnie lassie &c.
W:
W:The hoary cliffs are crown'd wi' flowers,
W:White o'er the linns the burnie pours,
W:And, rising, weets wi' misty showers
W:The birks o' Aberfeldie.
W:Bonnie lassie &c.
W:
W:Let fortune's gifts at random flee,
W:They ne'er shall draw a wish frae me,
W:Supremely blest wi' love and thee,
W:In the birks o' Aberfeldie.
W:Bonnie lassie &c.
