Raw braw lads on yarrow braes
Rove among the blooming heather
But yarrow braes, nor ettrick's shaws

Yet rich in kindest, truest love
We"ll tent oor flocks by Gala Water
Braw, braw bonnie lads o

That coft contentment, peace, or pleasure
The bands and bliss o mutual love
O that"s the chiefest warld's treasure
Braw, braw bonnie lads o
