Published 1790
Comin' thro' the Craigs o' Kyle,
Amang the bonnie blooming heather,
There I met a bonnie lassie
Keeping a' her yowes thegither.
O'er the moor, amang the heather,
O'er the moor, amang the heather,
There I met a bonnie lassie
Keeping a' her yowes thegither.
Says I, my dearie, where' s thy hame,
In moor or dale, pray tell me whether?
She says, I tent the fleecy flocks
That feed amang the blooming heather.
O'er the moor, etc.
We laid us down upon a bank,
Sae warm and sunny was the weather;
She left her flocks at large to rove
Amang the bonnie blooming heather.
O'er the moor, etc.
While thus we lay she sang a sang,
Till echo ran a mile and further,
And aye the burden o' the sang Was —
O'er the moor amang the heather.
O'er the moor, etc.
She charmed my heart, and aye sin' syne
I couldna think on any ither;
By sea and sky she shall be mine,
The bonnie lass amang the heather.
O'er the moor amang the heather,
O'er the moor amang the heather,
There I met a bonnie lassie
Keeping a' her yowes thegether
