At my bedside, my lassie, ye'll no' sit

So awa', lassie, wha cares for ye?"

Ye can go and court another, that'll mak up the dozen

But be kind tae yer auld love for a' that"

For the trees, they are high, my love, the leaves, they are green
    F                                   C
The years are passing by, my love, that you and I hae seen
            Dm7                          G
Through the lang winter's nicht, when ye hae tae lie yer lane

Ach, ye'll weary lang afore I come and see you"
