Oh the sun rises bright in France
and fair sets he
but he has lost that look he had
in his ain country
a gladness comes tae many
a sadness comes tae me
as I look out o'er the ocean wide
tae ma ain country
Its no ma ain ruin
that saddens aye ma een
but the love I left in Galloway
wi bonnie bairnies three
her hamly hearth burns bonnie
and smiles my ain dear Annie
but I left ma hert a'hint me
in ma ain country
The birds come back tae summer
and the blossom tae the trees
oh but I'll come back oh never
tae ma ain country
I'm loyal tae high heaven
which has aye been loyal tae me
an I'll meet ye all again soon
frae ma ain country
The sun rises bright in France
And fair sets he
But he has tint the blink he had
In my ain country
It's nae my ain ruin
That weets aye my ee
But the dear Marie I left behind
Wi bonnie bairnies three
Fu beinly lowed my ain hearth
And smiled my ain Marie
O I hae left my heart behind
In my ain country
I'm leal to high heaven
Which aye was leal tae me
And it's there I'll meet ye a' richt soon
Frae my ain country
The sun rises in Bordeaux
Is fair, fair to see
But it is fairer yet by far
In my ain county
Oh pleasure comes to mony
As sorrow comes to me
Oh I hae left a' my heart
In my ain country
