W:2.Upon the banks o' flowing Clyde
W:    The lasses busk them braw;
W:  But when their best they hae put on,
W:    My Jeanie dings them a';
W:  In hamely weeds she far exceeds
W:    The fairest o' the town;
W:  Baith grave and gay confess it sae,
W:    Tho' drest in russet gown.
W:  The gamesome lamb, that sucks its dam,
W:    Mair harmless canna be;
W:  She has nae faut, (if sic we ca't,)
W:    Except her love for me:
W:  The sparkling dew, of clearest hue,
W:    Is like her shining een;
W:  In shape and air, wha can compare
W:    "Wi' my sweet lovely Jean?
W:
W:3.O blaw, ye westlin winds, blaw saft
W:    Amang the leafy trees;
W:  Wi' gentle breath, frae muir and dale,
W:    Bring hame the laden bees,
W:  And bring the lassie back to me
W:    That's ay sae neat and clean;
%page 65
W:  Ae blink o' her wad banish care,
W:    Sae lovely is my Jean.
W:  What sighs and vows, amang the knowes,
W:    Hae past atween us twa!
W:  How fain to meet, how wae to part
W:    That day she gade awa!
W:  The powers aboon can only ken,
W:    To whom the heart is seen,
W:  That nane can be sae dear to me,
W:    As my sweet lovely Jean!
