W:2. The warblers are heard in the grove,
W:    The linnet, the lark, and the thrush,
W: The blackbird, and sweet-cooing dove,
W:    With music enchant ev'ry bush.
W: Come, let us go forth to the mead,
W:    Let's see how the primroses spring.
W: We'll lodge in some village on Tweed,
W:    And love while the feather'd folks sing.
W:
W:3. How does my love pass the long day?
W:    Does Mary not tend a few sheep?
W: Do they never carelessly stray,
W:    While happily she lies asleep?
W: Tweed's murmurs should lull her to rest:
W:    Kind Nature indulging my bliss,
W: To ease the soft pains of my breast,
W:    I'd steal an ambrosial kiss.
W:
W:4. 'Tis she does the virgins excel;
W:    No beauty with her may compare;
W: Love's graces around her do dwell;
W:    She's fairest, where thousands are fair.
W: Say, charmer, where do thy flocks stray?
W:    Oh! tell me at noon where they feed?
W: Is it on the sweet-winding Tay,
W:    Or pleasanter banks of the Tweed?

W:1. When Maggy and I were acquaint,
W:    I carried my noddle fu' hie;
W: Nae lintwhite on a' the gay plain,
W:    Nae gowdspink sae bonny as she.
W: I whistled, I pip'd, and I sang,
W:    I woo'd, but I cam nae great speed;
W: Therefore I maun wander abroad,
W:    And lay my banes far frae the Tweed,
W:
W:2. To Maggy my love I did tell;
W:    My tears did my passion express:
W: Alas! for I lo'ed her owre well,
W:    And the women lo'e sic a man less.
W: Her heart it was frozen and cauld,
W:    Her price had my ruin decreed;
W: Therefore I maun wander abroad,
W:    And lay my banes far frae the Tweed.
