OH, what like winsome dearie's face
 Can
charm the lads frae frownin' O ?
Then let wha pines for heartie's peace
Come
yont wi' me by Lunan O !
By
Lunan O ! fair Lunan O !
For
wha kens a kimmer sae braw, sae braw,
As
the lass that bides by Lunan ?
Oh, what can cheer like the merry May-buird
I'
the liftin' licht blithe-sounin' O ?
Yet nae lark, liltin', daur be heard
Wi'
the lass that bides by Lunan O !
By
Lunan O ! dear Lunan O !
For
wha kens a kimmer sae blithe ava'
As
the lass that bides by Lunan ? |

...continued
Oh, what can surer melt the mou'
Than
peach i' the sun embrownin' O ?
But oh ! tae pree the fragrant dew
Aff
her lips wha bides by Lunan O !
By
Lunan O ! clear Lunan O !
For
wha kens a kimmer sae sweet ava
As
the lass that bides by Lunan ?
Then come wha, dowie, sits opprest,
An'
hisht, now hisht your croonin' O !
Your een will evermair be blest
Gin'
ye come wi' me by Lunan O !
By
Lunan O ! fair Lunan O !
For
wha kens a kimmer sae braw, sae braw,
As
the lass that bides by Lunan ? |
