The birdie sing's upon the thorn
Its sang* o' joy, In 1 chcerie, Oj
Rejoicing in the simmer morn,
Nae care to iruk' it eerie, O;
But little kens the sangstcr sweet,
Aught o' the care I hae to meet,
Thai gars my restless bosom beat,
My only jo ami dearie, O,
Whan we war bairnies on yon brae,
An' youth was blinkin 1 bonnyO,
Alt we wad daff the lee-lang day,
Our joys fti' sweet and monic, O - ,
Alt I wad chace thee o'er the lea,
And round about the thornic trie;
Or V'U" 1 the wild-flowers a' for thee.
My only jo and dearie, O.
I ha'e a -wish I canna tine,
'Mang a' the cares that jrrievc mc,0;
I w-ish that thou w T crt ever mine.
Anil never mair to leave me, O:
Then I wad daut thee night and da\. .
Nor ither w-arly care wad hat,
Till life's warm stream forgat, to |>la\.
My only jo and dearie, O.
