Real Mckenzies – Ye Banks And Braes

ye banks & braes of bonnie doon,

how can ye bloom sae fresh & fair

how can ye chant ye tiny wee birds

and i sae weary & nae full o’ care

ye break me heart; ye birds that sing

that warble through the flowery thorn

ye remind me of a departed joy

departed forever tae never return

i’ve often roamed by bonnie doon

to walk by the ocean, the wind & the sky

and like the birdees that sing o’ their love,

sae fondly say did i of mine

with lightsome heart i spied a rose

so sweet and aglow on thorny tree

and my false love did steal that rose

and all she left me was but a thorn

[Repeat 2nd Verse]
