To quell the proud rebels for valiant is he.
But ah! there’s no hope of his speedy returning*
To wander ag*ain,on the banks of the Dee.

He’s g*one hapless youth,o’er the loud roaring* billows,
The kindest, and sweetest, of all the g*ay fellows;
And left me to stray ’mong-st the once loved willows,
The loneliest maid on the banks of the Dee.

Blest peace may restore my dear shepherd to me!
And when he returns with such care I’ll watch o’er him,
He never shall leave the sweet banks of the Dee.

The D ee shall then flow, all its beauties displaying*.
The lambs on its banks,shall ag-ain be seen playing*!
While I with my Jamie am carelessly straying*,
And tasting* ag-ain all the sweets of the Dee.
