Rh The blae-berry banks now are lonesome and dreary, O,

Muddy are the streams that gush'd down sae clearly, O,

Silent are the rocks that echoed sae gladly, O,

The wild melting strains o' my dear Highland laddie, O.

He pu'd me the crawberry, ripe frae the boggy fen,

He pu'd me the strawberry, red frae the foggy glen,

He pu'd me the rowan frae the wild steep sae giddy, O,

Sae loving and kind was my dear Highland laddie, O.

Fareweel, my ewes, and fareweel, my doggie, O,

Fareweel, ye knowes, now sae cheerless and scroggie, O;

Fareweel, Glenfeoch, my mammy and my daddie, O,

I will lea' you a' for my dear Highland laddie, O.
