There I met a bonny lassie,
Keeping a‘ her ewes thegither,
O‘er the moor amang the heather,
O‘er the moor amang the heather.
There I met a bonny lassie.
Keeping a‘ her ewes thegither.
Says I, my dear where is thy hame,
In moor or dale pray tell me whither?
She says, I tent the fleecy flocks
That feed among the blooming heather
O‘er the moor, &c.
We laid us down upon a bank,
Sae warm and sunny was the weather
She left her flocks at large to rove
Amang the bonny blooming heather.
O’er the moor, &c.
While thus we lay, she sang a sang,
Till echo rang a mile and farther.
And aye the burden o’ the sang
Was o’er the moor amang the heather,
O’er the moor, &c.
She charm’d my heart, and aye sinsyne,
I could na think on any ither:
By sea and sky she shall be mine
The bonny lass amang the heather.
O’er the moor &c.
AULD LANGSYNE.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
an' never brought to mind;
