DOWN THE BURN, DAVIE.
When bonny daisies spread the sward,
An broom bloom'd fair to see;
Blythe Davie, wi' a heart sae light,
An' she, a maiden free,
Cries, “Down the bonny burn side,
And I will follow thee.”
An broom bloom'd fair to see;
Blythe Davie, wi' a heart sae light,
An' she, a maiden free,
Cries, “Down the bonny burn side,
And I will follow thee.”
When gracefu' birks hang drooping o'er
The deep pool's waveless side;
And shaded frae the simmer sun,
The wandrin' salmon hide.
where the little trouties play,
An' shine sae bonnilie,
“Gang down the burn,” cries Davie blythe,
“And I will follow thee.”

And shaded frae the simmer sun,
The wandrin' salmon hide.
where the little trouties play,
An' shine sae bonnilie,
“Gang down the burn,” cries Davie blythe,
“And I will follow thee.”
