I sing
1
o’ the Spey, the bonnie, honnie Spey,
Whar the primrose grows so early,
An’ ilka mile o’ the boiinie Hielan stream
Can shew
r
you some rare fairlie.

0 dearly I lo’e the grand auld Spey,
And its music aye sae cheerie,
Whan I hear the soun’ o’ my ain dear stream;
I ne’er feel dow nor w
T
eary.
3nl
The voice of the sea on a storm-lashed shore,
Is waesome to me and eerie;
And the sough o’ the w
r
inds on Lochnagar
To me is ever drearie.
When Sung transpose into A Major.
4.th
But the music o’ Spey is grand to me,
Whan the shades o’ nicht are fa’in*,
I cou’d listen and listen the lee lang nicht,
And never wish for dawin’.
In summer its lispin’, ripplin’ notes
Is a sang to me enchantin’,—
The music o’ luve o’ friendship o’ truth,
In which there is naething wantin’.
6*1?
Sing on! sing on! mybraw Hielan’stream,
The stream I lo’e sae dearly,
And a’ the fouks on its bonnie green hanks,
Shall share my love sincerely.
