I've row'd o'er the frith Loch - iel and Prince Char - lie; Then

row, row
thee, my bon - nie built wher - ry, Then row thee weel, my
bon - nie built wher - ry.
Row, row thee, my ben - nie built
lo-
wlier - ry, I've row'd thee lang and with thee been mer - ry.
My wherry was built for the gallant and brave,
She dances sae light o'er the bonnie white wave —
She dances sae light through the cloud and the haze,
And steers by the light of the watch-fire blaze.
Then row, row thee, my bonnie built wherry, &c.
But a' that I lov'd on earth is gane,
And I and my wherry are left alane ;
The blast is blawn that bore them aw a' —
But there is a day that's comin' for a'.
Then row, row thee, my bonnie built wherry, &c.
