Ye Banks and Braes

Ye Banks and Braes.

WORDS BY BURNS. Ye banks and braes o' bon - nie Doon, How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair; How can ye chant ye lit - tie birds, And I sae wea - ry, fu' o care! Ye'll break my heart, ye war-bling birds, That wan-ton thro the flow - ry thorn; Ye mind me o' depart - ed joys, De - part - ed ne - ver to re - turn,

Aft ha'e I roved by bonnie Doon,
To see the rose and woodbine twine.
And ilka bird sang o' its love,
And fondly sae did I o' mine.
Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose,
Fu' sweet upon its thorny tree;
Bit my fanse lover stole my rose,
And ah! he left the thorn wi' me.
