 O resume thy wonted smile,

O suppress thy tear lassie,

Honour, glory, crowns our toil,

That's a sodger's fee Lassie,

Heav'n will shield thy faithful lover,

Till the vengeful strife is over,

Then we'll meet nae mair to sever,

Till the day we die Lassie.

Louden‘s, bonny Woods and Braes,

Shall see our future happy days,

And blythe our hearts as lambs that graze

On Louden‘s bonny Braes Lassie.

Weel I mind the happy day,

United thee and me Laddie,

But ne‘er thought I that you would stray

Frae Louden‘s Braes and me Laddie,

May heav'n avert the threat'ning blows,

Till it avenge thee on each foe,

And Galic sons wi‘ their last threws,

May kiss the road to me Laddie;

Louden's bonny Woods and Braes,

Shall grace our kind congenial days,

Responsive to my hero's praise,

And echo's answer gay Laddie.
