The mavis, down thy bughted glade, Gars echo ring frae ev'ry tree.
Thou bonnie wood, &c.

They'll sing you yet a canty sang, Then, O in pity let them be !
Thou bonnie wood, &c. |

Frae aff the Norlan hills sae hie, He lightly skiffs thy bonnie bowers,
As laith to harm a flower in thee.
Thou bonnie wood, &c. |

Though fate should drag me south the line,
Or o'er the wide Atlantic sea, The happy hours I'll ever mind
That I in youth ha'e spent in thee.
Thou bonnie wood, &c. |
