Of A' the Airts the Wind Can Blaw.
O blaw, ye westlin' winds, blaw saft,
Amang the leafy trees!
Wi' gentle breath, frae muir and dale
Bring hame the laden bees!
And bring the lassie back to me,
That's aye sae neat and clean;
Ae blink 4 o' her would banish care,
Sae charming is my Jean.
What sighs and vows amang the knowes 5
Ha'e passed atween us twa!
How fain to meet, how wae to part
That day she gaed awa!
The powers aboon can only ken,
To whom the heart is seen,
That nane can be sae dear to me
As my sweet lovely Jean.
