The Braes O' Balquhidder
Will ye go, lassie, go, To the braes o' Balquhidder? Where the blaeberries grow, 'Mang the bonnie bloomin' heather; Where the deer and the roe Lightly bounding together, Sport the lang simmer day 'Mang the braes o' Balquhidder.
Chorus: Will ye go lassie, go, To the braes o' Balquhidder? Where the blaeberries grow, 'Mang the bonnie bloomin' heather.
I will twine thee a bower By the clear siller fountain, An' I'll cover it o'er Wi' the flowers o' the mountain; I will range through the wilds, An' the deep glens sae dreary, An' return wi' their spoils To the bower o' my dearie.
Now the simmer is in prime, Wi' the flowers richly bloomin' An' the wild mountain thyme A' the moorlands perfumin', To our dear native scenes Let us journey together, Where glad innocence reigns 'Mang the braes o' Balquhidder.
