| THERE s douce auld carles yont the Craft, | |
An winsome wives in Broughty Ferry; | |
There s bonny maids in Lillybank, | |
But nane like my Glenisla Mary. | |
|
The Seidlaw Hills are wreathed wi snaw, | 5 |
The breakers roar aboon the Ferry; | |
But when the gowan decks the Law, | |
I ll meet my dear Glenisla Mary. | |
|
The wind and tide may change and veer, | |
But love like mine can never vary; | 10 |
For lang as light to life is dear, | |
I ll love thee, sweet Glenisla Mary. | | | |
