And lang muft I nae mair well be feeiij
Piling the Birks on the Braes qfiTarrow.
Forfhc has tint her Lover, Lover dear.
Her Lover dear, the Caufe of Sorrow 5
And I have {lain the comelieft Swain,
That ever pued Birks on the Braes of Tarrow.
Why runs thy Stream, O Tarrow^ Tarrow, reid ?
Why on thy Braes heard the Voice of Sorrow ?
And why yon melancholious Weeds,
Hung on the bonny Birks of Tarrow ?
What's yonder floats on the rueful, rueful Flood .^
What's yonder floats ? O Dole and Sorrow,
O 'tis the comely Swain I flew.
Upon the doleful Braes of 2^rr<?z2;.
Wafli, O wafh his Wounds, his Wounds in Tears,
His Wounds in Tears of Dole and Sorrow,
And wrap his Limbs in mourning Weeds,
And lay him on the Braes oi Tarrow.

Ye Sifters fad, his Tomb with Sorrow 5
And weep around in woful wife,
His helplefs Fate on the Braes oi Tarrow,

My Arm that wrought the Deed of Sorrow 5
