Fareweel to Ayrshire.
⟨Scenes⟩ of woe, and scenes of pleasure?
Scenes that former thoughts renew;
⟨Scenes⟩ of woe and scenes of pleasure,
Now a sad and last adieu.

⟨Bonny⟩ Doon, sae sweet at gloaming
⟨Fare⟩ thee well before I gang:
⟨Bonny⟩ Doon, whar early roaming,
First I weav'd the rustic sang.

⟨Bowers⟩, adieu! where love decoying,
First enthrall'd this heart o' mine;
⟨There⟩ the safest sweets enjoying,
⟨Sweets⟩ that mem'ry ne'er shall tine.

⟨Friends⟩ so near my bosom ever,
⟨Ye⟩ ha'e render'd moments dear!
⟨But⟩ alas! when forc'd to sever,
⟨Then⟩ the stroke, O how severe!

⟨But⟩ alas! when forc'd to sever,
⟨Then⟩ the stroke, O how severe!
⟨Friends⟩, that parting tear reserve it,
⟨Though⟩ 'tis doubly dear to me;
⟨But⟩ I think I did deserve it,
⟨How⟩ much happier would I be.
