I'll think of those bewitching smiles
That won my heart sae dear, Jessie;
I'll think upon sweet Hauthorn's den,
How blithe hae we been there, Lassie?
The Edinburgh's bonny walks
Along with thee did bear, Jessie,
And thought myself' the brawest lad
Wi' thee, sae bonny fair, lassie.

It's wealth that wears the silk attire
But wha can e'er win me, Jessie;
While I ha'e beauty, worth and love,
A' that be dear in thee, lassie,
I dinna look me at the world,
Ev'n a' that it can gi'e, Jessie;
It's sacred mair what makes me love,
And binds my heart to thee, lassie.

And haud me now aye as your ain.
By a' those vows sae dear, Jessie,
And nane nor they do ken that love,
Alone to thee I bear, lassie.
It's thine wherever I do be,
Divide nae seas can we, Jessie;
The dearest wish here that I hae,
Is mine aye were thou dear lassie.
