W:2.Nae herd wi' kent or colly there,
W:    Shall ever come to fear ye, O,
W:  But lav'rocks, whistling in the air,
W:    Shall woo, like me, their dearie, O,
W:  While ithers herd their lambs and ewes,
W:    And toil for warld's gear, my jo,
W:  Upon the lee my pleasure grows
W:    Wi' thee, my ain kind dearie, O.

W:3.At gloamin, if my lane I be,
W:    Oh, but I'm wondrous eerie, O,
W:  And mony a heavy sigh I gie,
W:    When absent frae my dearie, O:

W:  But seated 'neath the milk-white thorn,
W:    In ev'ning fair and dearie, O,
W:  Enraptur'd, a' my cares I scorn,

W:4.Whare through the birks the burnie rows,
W:    Aft hae I sat fu' cheery, O,
W:  Upon the bonny greensward howes,
W:    Wi' thee, my kind dearie, O.
W:  I've courted till I've heard the craw
W:    Of honest Ghanticleerie, O,
W:  Yet never miss'd my sleep ava,
W:    When wi' my kind dearie, O.
W:
W:5.For though the night were ne'er sae dark,
W:    And I were ne'er sae weary, O,
W:  I'd meet thee on the lee rig
W:    My ain kind dearie, O.
W:  While in this weary warld of wae,
W:    This wilderness sae dreary, O,
W:  What maks me blythe, and keeps me sae?
W:    'Tis thee, my kind dearie, O.
