O my love is like a red, red rose

That's newly sprung in June;

O my love's like a melody 

That's sweetly played in tune.


As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,

So deep in love am I;

And I will love thee still my dear,

Until a'the seas gang dry.


Till a'the seas gang dry, my dear,

And the rocks melt with the sun:

I will love thee still, my dear,

While the sands o'life shall run.


And fare thee well, my only love!

And fare thee well awhile!

And I will come again, my love.

Tho' it were ten thousand mile!
