O mount and go, .<br />

O, my lassie, our joy to complete again,<br />

O my love is a country, lass,<br />

O, my luve's like a red red rose.<br />

On a bank <strong>of</strong> flowers, on a summer's day.<br />

On Whitsunday morning.<br />

On Satm'day my wife she died,<br />

O, Nannie, wilt thou gang wi' me.<br />

On Annan's banks, in life's gay morn.<br />

One day I heard Mary say.<br />

One night as young Colin lay musing in bed.<br />

On Ettrick banks, ae summer's nicht,<br />

On the banks <strong>of</strong> AUan water.<br />

On the blythe Beltane as I went,<br />

O Philly, happy be that day,<br />

O puirtith caxild, and restless love,<br />

O Sandy, why leave thus thy Nelly to mourn,<br />

O rattlin roaring Willie,<br />

O saw ye bonnie Lesley, .<br />

O saw ye Johnie comin', quo' she,<br />

O saw ye my father, or saw ye my mother,<br />

O saw ye Willie frae the west,<br />

O send Lewie Gordon hame,<br />

O spring's a pleasant time,<br />

O stay, sweet warbling woodlark, stay,<br />

O steer her up and hand her gaun,<br />

O steer her up and baud her gaun,<br />

O sAveet are the blossoms o' the hawthorn tree,<br />

O tell nae me <strong>of</strong> wind and rain,<br />

O that I had ne'er been married,<br />

O this is my departing time,<br />

O this is no my ain lassie.<br />

Our gallant <strong>Scottish</strong> prince was clad.<br />

Our gudeman cam hame at e'en,<br />

Our gudewife's awa.<br />

Our native land, our native vale,<br />

Our thistles flourished fresh and fair.<br />

Out ower yon moss, out ower yon muir,<br />

Over the mountains,<br />

O wae to a' the whigs o' Fife, .<br />

O waly, waly up yon bank,<br />

O wat ye wha's in yon tomi,<br />

O weel may the boatie row,<br />

O, we're a' noddin', nid, nid, nodding,<br />

O, were I able to rehearse, .<br />
