The Rose of Aberdeen

To the Highlands I will go
With my bonnie lassie-o
She's the girl that I love so
The Rose of Aberdeen

Hair as golden as the broom
Her smile can light the darkest gloom
She's fairer far than any bloom
The Rose of Aberdeen

To the Highlands I will go
With my bonnie lassie-o
She's the girl that I love so
The Rose of Aberdeen

I've been wi' other lassies-o
Who fairly had me heart a-glow
But none compares to Nancy-o
The Rose of Aberdeen

To the Highlands I will go
With my bonnie lassie-o
She's the girl that I love so
The Rose of Aberdeen

Trippin' o'er the heather hills
Listening to the mavis trill
To the alehouse for a gill
Wi' the Rose of Aberdeen

To the Highlands I will go
With my bonnie lassie-o
She's the girl that I love so
The Rose of Aberdeen

What's a lad without a lass
But a drunkard wi' an empty glass
So all me days I hope to pass
Wi' the Rose of Aberdeen

To the Highlands I will go
With my bonnie lassie-o
She's the girl that I love so
The Rose of Aberdeen
