W:Will ye go, lassie, go, To the braes o' Balquhidder
W:Where the blaeberries grow, 'Mang the bonnie bloomin' heather;
W:Where the deer and the roe lightly bounding together,
W:Sport the lang simmer day 'Mang the braes o Balquhidder,
W:Chorus
W:Will ye go, lassie go, To the braes o' Balquhidder
W:Where the blaeberries grow, 'Mang the bonnie bloomin' heather;
W:
W:I will twine thee a bower, by the clear siller fountain,
W:An' I'll cover it o'er, Wi' the flowers o' the mountain;
W:I will range through the wilds, An' the deep glens sae dreary,
W:An' return wi' their spoils To the bower o' my deary
W:
W:Now the summer is in prime, Wi the flowers richly bloomin'
W:An' the wild mountain thyme A' the moorlands perfumin',
W:To our dear native scenes Let us journey together,
W:Where glad innocence reigns 'Mang the braes o' Balquhidder,
