“It's up and down in Tiftie's Den, Where the burn runs clear and bonnie; There wilt thou come and meet thy love, Thy bonnie Andrew Lammie.

“When wilt thou come and I'll attend, My love I long to see thee?"         “Thou may'st come to the Bridge of Sleugh,            And there I'll come and meet thee."

"My love I go to Edinbro',           And for a while must leave thee." She sighed sore, and said no more, “But I wish that I were wi' thee.”

"I'll buy to thee a bridal gown,           My love, I'll buy it bonnie;'          "But I'll be dead ere you come back To see your bonnie Annie."

"If you'll be true, and constant too,           As my name's Andrew Lammie,          I shall thee wed when I come back            To see the lands of Fyvie."

"I will be true and constant too,           To thee my Andrew Lammie,          But my bridal bed will ere then be made            In the green churchyard of Fyvie."

"Our time is gone and now comes on,           My dear, that I must leave thee;          If longer here I should appear,            Mill o' Tiftie he would see me."

"I now for ever bid adieu           To thee, my Andrew Lammie;          Ere ye come back, I will be lain            In the green churchyard of Fyvie.”
