Let us haste to Kelvin Grove, bonnie lassie, O, thro' its mazes let us rove, bonnie lassie, O
Where the roses in their pride, deck the bonnie dingle side, where the midnight fairies glide, bonnie lassie, O

Let us wander by the mill, bonnie lassie, O, to the cove beside the rill, bonnie lassie, O
Where the glens rebound the call of the roaring waters' fall, thro' the mountains rocky hall, bonnie lassie, O

Oh, Kelvin banks are fair, bonnie lassie, O, when the summer we are there, bonnie lassie, O
There the maypink's crimson plume throws a soft but sweet perfume, round the yellow banks o' broom, bonnie lassie, O

Tho' I dare not call thee mine, bonnie lassie, O, as the smile of fortune's thine, bonnie lassie, O
Yet with fortune on my side I could stay thy father's pride. and win thee for my bride, bonnie lassie, O

But the frowns of fortune lour, bonnie lassie, O, on thy lover at this hour, bonnie lassie, O
Ere you golden orb of day wake the warblers on the spray, from this land I must away, bonnie lassie, O

Then farewell to Kelvin Grove, bonnie lassie, O, and adieu to all I love, bonnie lassie, O
To the river winding clear to the fragrant scented brier, even to thee of all most dear, bonnie lassie, O

When upon a foreign shore, bonnie lassie, O, should I fall midst battle's roar, bonnie lassie, O
Then, Helen, should'st thou hear of thy lover on his bier, to his memory shed a tear, bonnie lassie, O
