Ae fareweel, alas, for ever! Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee, Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee. Who shall say that Fortune grieves him, While the star of hope she leaves him? Me, nae cheerful twinkle lights me; Dark despair around benights me. I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy, Naething could resist my Nancy: But to see her was to love her; Love but her, and love for ever. Had we never lov'd sae kindly, Had we never lov'd sae blindly, Never met-or never parted, We had ne'er been broken-hearted. Fare-thee-weel, thou first and fairest! Fare-thee-weel, thou best and dearest! Thine be ilka joy and treasure, Peace, Enjoyment, Love and Pleasure! Ae fond kiss, and then we sever! Ae fareweeli alas, for ever! Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee, Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.

Land of the silver birch
Home of the beaver Where still the mighty moose Wanders at will Blue lake and rocky shore I will return once more Boom-diddy-ah-da, Boom-diddy-ah-da, Boom-diddyah-da, bo-oo-oom
My paddle's keen and bright
My paddle's keen and bright
Flashing like silver Swift as the wild goose flight Dip, dip and swing Dip, dip and swing her back Flashing like silver Swift as the wild goose flight Dip, dip and swing.
