I LOVE MY JEAN.
TUNE—'MISS ADMIRAL GORDON'S STRATHSPEY.'
Of a' the airts the wind can blaw,I dearly like the west,For there the bonie lassie lives,The lassie I lo'e best:There wild woods grow, and rivers row,And monie a hill between;But day and night my fancy's flightIs ever wi' my Jean.
I see her in the dewy flowers,I see her sweet and fair:I hear her in the tunefu' birds,I hear her charm the air:There's not a bonie flower that springsBy fountain, shaw, or green;There's not a bonie bird that sings,But minds me o' my Jean.
