Ye Banks And Braes Of Bonnie Doon

Ye Banks And Braes Of Bonnie Doon - John McDermott

Written by：Traditional

Ye banks and braes o' bonnie doon

How can ye bloom sae 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

That wanton through the flow'ring thorn

Ye mind me o' departed joys

Departed never to return

Oft I have rove by bonnie doon

To see the rose and woodbine twine

And ilka bird sang of it's love

And fondly sae did I o' mine

Wi' lightsome heart I put a rose

Full sweet upon the thorny tree

But my false lover stole my rose

And ah he left the thorn wi' me
