Bonnie Doon

Bonnie Doon - Rosalind McAllister

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' o' care

Ye'll break my heart ye warbling birds

But wanton through the flow'ring thorn

Ye mind me o' departed joys

Departed never to return

I have rove by bonnie doon

To see the rose of woodbine twine

And like a bird sang of it's love

And fondly sea did I o' mine

Wi' lightsome heart I put a rose

Full sweet upon the thorny tree

My false lover stole my rose

And ah she left the thorn wi' me

Ye'll break my heart ye warbling birds

That wanton through the flow'ring thorn

Ye mind me o' departed joys

Departed never to return
