Ye Banks And Braes Of Bonnie Doon lyrics by John McDermott

Ye banks and braes of Bonnie Doon
How can ye bloom so fresh and fair?
How can ye chant, ye little birds
And I'm sae weary, fu' of care

Ye'll break my heart, ye warbling birds
That wanton through the flowering thorn
Ye mind me of departed joys
Departed, never to return

Oft I have roved by Bonnie Doon

To see the rose and woodbine twine
And ilka bird sang of its love
And fondly so did I of mine

With lightsome heart I put a rose
Full sweet upon this thorny tree
But my false lover stole my rose
And ah, he left the thorn with me
