 There I met a bonny lassie,

Keeping a' her ewes thegither,

Oʻer the moor amang the heather,

O‘er the moor amang the heather,

There I met a bonny Jassie,

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

Oʻer the moor, &c.

Wo 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.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

an' never brought to mind;
