Gloomy Winter's now awa'.
Gloomy winter's now awa,
Saft the westlin breezes blaw:
'Mang the birks o' stanly shaw,
The mavis sings fu cheery O;
Sweet the craw-flowers early bell,
Decks Gleniffers dewy dell;
Blooming like thy bonny fel',
My young, my artless dearie O.
Saft the westlin breezes blaw:
'Mang the birks o' stanly shaw,
The mavis sings fu cheery O;
Sweet the craw-flowers early bell,
Decks Gleniffers dewy dell;
Blooming like thy bonny fel',
My young, my artless dearie O.
Come my lassie let us stray
O'er Glenkillochs sunny brae,
Blythly spend the gouden day,
Midst joys that never weary O.
Tow'ring o'er the Newton woods,
Lav'rocks fan the snaw white cloud
Siller saughs wi' downy buds,
Adorn the bank sae briery O;
O'er Glenkillochs sunny brae,
Blythly spend the gouden day,
Midst joys that never weary O.
Tow'ring o'er the Newton woods,
Lav'rocks fan the snaw white cloud
Siller saughs wi' downy buds,
Adorn the bank sae briery O;
Around the silvan fairy nooks,
Feathery breckens fringe the rocks
Neath the brae the burnie jouks;
And ilka thing is cheery O.
Trees may bud, and birds may sing
Flow'rs may bloom, and verdure
Joy to me they canno bring,
Unless wi' thee my dearie O.
Feathery breckens fringe the rocks
Neath the brae the burnie jouks;
And ilka thing is cheery O.
Trees may bud, and birds may sing
Flow'rs may bloom, and verdure
Joy to me they canno bring,
Unless wi' thee my dearie O.
