We'll awa to Atholea green, and there we'll no be feen,
Whare the trees and the branches will be our fafe guard.

T will awa to Edinburgh and win a pennie fee,
And fee an onie bonie lad will fancy me.
He's, comin frae the North that s to fancy me,
He's comin frae the North that's to farcy me;
A feather in his bonnet and a ribbon at his knee.
He's a bonie, bonie laddie and yon be he.
