Ye Banks And Braes Of Bonnie Doon lyrics
Song information
Artist: John Mcdermott Album: Old Friends
Lyrics
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 of woodbine twine; And ilka bird sang of its 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, she left the thorn wi' me
