AFTER HEARING A LADY SING ‘BANKS O' DOON’
Lady sweet thy melodyWhen the banks of doon was given
Angels lent a voice to thee
It gave a glimpse of heaven
If to heaven I cannot go
Hearing thees a heaven below
Lady sweet thy melody
Let the banks o doon be given
233
Let the banks o doon be given
Lady breath thy airs divine
Twill glad my steps to heaven
If to heaven I cannot go
Twill cheer me to the dread below
Lady breath thy air divine
Let banks o doon be given
