love - ly young Jes - sie, Is love - ly young Jes - sie, the flow'r o' Dumblane,
She's modest as ony, an' blythe as she's bonnie,
For guileless simplicity marks her its ain ;
An' far be the villain, divested o' feeling,
Wha'd blight in its bloom the sweet flow'r o' Dumblane.
Sing on, thou sweet mavis, thy hymn to the e'enin',
Thou'rt dear to the echoes o' Calderwood glen ;
Sae dear to this bosom, sae artless arid winning,
Is charming young Jessie, the flow'r o' Dumblane.
