A Red Red Rose.

Oh, my love's like a red, red rose,That's newly sprung in June:Oh, my love's like the melodie,That's sweetly played in tune.As fair art thou my bonnie lass,So deep in love am I:And I will love thee still, my dear,Till a' the seas gang dry.
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,And the rocks melt wi' the sun;I will love thee still, my dear,While the sands o' life shall run.And fare thee weel, my only love!And fare thee weel a while!And I will come again, my love,Though it were ten thousand mile.
