⟨O⟩ dinna think, bonnie lassie, I'm gaun to leave thee;
⟨Dinna⟩ think, bonnie lassie, I'm gaun to leave thee;
⟨Dinna⟩ think, bonnie lassie, I'm gaun to leave thee;
Whene'er the sun gaes out of sight, I'll come again and see thee.
Waves are rising o'er the sea, winds blaw loud and fear me;
Waves are rising o'er the sea, winds blaw loud and fear me.
While the winds and waves do roar, I am wae and drearie,
⟨And⟩ gin ye loo me as ye say, ye winna gang & leave me.
O never mair, bonnie lassie, will I gang and leave thee;
⟨Never⟩ mair, bonnie lassie, will I gang and leave thee;
⟨Never⟩ mair, bonnie lassie, will I gang and leave thee;
⟨E'en⟩ let the warld go as it will I'll stay at hame and cheer thee.
⟨Frae⟩ his hand be coost his stick; I winna gang and leave thee;
⟨Threw⟩ his plaid into the neuk, never can I grieve thee;
Threw his boots and flang them by, cried, my lass be cheerie
I'll kiss the tear frae aff thy cheek, and never leave my dearie.
