'Twas on a sim-mer's af-ter-noon, A wee
i - fore the sun gaed down,
My las - sie, in a braw new gown, Cam' o'er the hills to Gow - rie.
My las - sie, in a braw new gown, Cam' o'er the hills to Gow - rie.
The rose-bud ting'd wi' morning show'r, Bloom'd fresh within the ha-zel bow'r;
The rose-bud ting'd wi' morning show'r, Bloom'd fresh within the ha-zel bow'r;
But Ka- tie was the fair - est flow'r That ev - er bloom'd in Gow - rie.
But Ka - tie was the fair - est flow'r That ev - er bloom'd in Gow - rie.
I had nae thought to do her wrang,
But round her waist my arms I flang,
And said, my lassie, will ye gang
To view the Carse o' Gowrie.
I'll tak' ye to my father's ha',
In yon green field beside the shaw,
And mak' ye lady o' them a',
The brawest wife in Gowrie.
