O far are ye gan tae, my bonnie young lassie
Wi yer reed an rosie cheeks, and yer coal black hair
I’m gan a-milkin, kind sir she answert me
For rollin in the dew maks a milkmaid fair

Fit wid ye dee gin I wis tae walk wi ye
Wi yer reed an rosie cheeks, and yer coal black hair
This path will tak the baith o us, kind sir she answert me
For rollin in the dew maks a milkmaid fair

Fit wid ye dee gin I wis tae kiss yer mou
Wi yer reed an rosie cheeks, and yer coal black hair
A kiss wid niver frichten me, kind sir she answert me
For rollin in the dew maks a milkmaid fair

Fit wid ye dee gin I wis tae lay ye doon
Wi yer reed an rosie cheeks, and yer coal black hair
I’d seen rise tae my feet again, kind sir she answert me
For rollin in the dew maks a milkmaid fair

Fit wid ye dee gin I wis tae bairn ye
Wi yer reed an rosie cheeks, and yer coal black hair
Syne ye’d be the daddie o’t an I wid be the mammie o’t
For rollin in the dew maks a milkmaid fair

An fit wid ye dee gin I wis tae rin awa’
Wi yer reed an rosie cheeks, and yer coal black hair
I wid jist rin aifter ye, kind sir she anwert me
For rollin in the dew maks a milkmaid fair
