Of a' the airts the wind can blaw I dearly love the west For there the bonnie la**ie lives The la** i love the best There wild woods grow and rivers row And many a hill between Both day and night my fancy's flight Is ever with my Jean Blaw you westlin winds, blaw saft Amang the leafy trees I hear her voice in ilka bird Bring hame the laden bees And bring the la**ie back to me
The mountain, shaw or green Ae blink o' her wad banish care Sae lovely is my Jean What sighs and vows amang yon knows Hae past atween us twa Sae fain tae meet, I wae tae pairt The day she gang awa The powers above can only know To whom my heart has seen Bring the la**ie back to me Nane can be sae dear to me My sweet and lovely Jean
