Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes, 
     Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise;
     My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,
     Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.
...
        
            MY lord, I know your noble ear
Woe ne'er assails in vain;
Embolden'd thus, I beg you'll hear
Your humble slave complain,
...
        
            BRAW, braw lads on Yarrow-braes,
They rove amang the blooming heather;
But Yarrow braes, nor Ettrick shaws
Can match the lads o' Galla Water.
...
        
            ALTHO' my back be at the wa',
And tho' he be the fautor;
Altho' my back be at the wa',
Yet, here's his health in water.
...
