Chorus (after each verse):
Oh braw, braw lads o' Gala Water
Bonnie lads o' Gala Water
Let them a' say whate'er they may
__ as I tae Gala Water
Braw, braw bonnie lads O
It's ower yon moss an' ower yon moor
Ower yon bonnie hill o' heather
Let them a' say whate'er they may
__ as I tae Gala Water
Braw, braw bonnie lads O
It's lords an' lairds cam here tae woo
An' gentlemen wi' sword, aye an' dagger
But the black-eyed lads o' Galashiels
Will hae nane but the gree o' Gala Water
Braw, braw bonnie lads O
Fareweel tae you, proud Galashiels
Fareweel, my mither an' my faither
I'll awa' wi' the black-haired lad
That keeps his sheep on Gala Water
Braw, braw bonnie lads O
Ower yon moss an' ower yon moor
Ower yon bonnie hills sae drearie
The lassie lost her silken snood
Gar'd her greet, for she was wearie
Braw, braw bonnie lads O
(Chorus 2x)
