THE BIRKS OF ABERFELDIE           birches

CHORUS
Bonie lassie, will ye go,
Will ye go, will ye go?
Bonie lassie, will ye go
         To the birks of Aberfeldie?

1
Now simmer blinks on flow'ry braes, 		         







shines, slopes
And o'er the crystal streamlets plays,
Come, let us spend the lightsorne days
         In the birks of Aberfeldie!

2
The little birdies blythely-sing,
While o'er their heads the hazels hing,		          





hang
Or lightly flit on wanton wing
         In the birks of Aberfeldie.

3
The braes ascend like lofty wa's,
The foaming stream, deep-roaring, fa's
O'er hung with fragrant-spreading shaws, 		         





woods
         The birks of Aberfeldie.

4
The hoary cliffs are crown'd wi' flowers,
White o'er the linns the burnie pours,		          



falls, brooklet
And, rising, weets wi' misty showers          wets
         The birks of Aberfeldie.

5
Let Fortune's gifts at random flee,
They ne'er shall draw a wish frae me
Supremely blest wi' love and thee
         In the birks of Aberfeldie.
