Gloomy Winter

	Gloomy winter's now awa
	Soft the westlin' breezes blaw
	‘Mang the birks o' Stanley shaw
	The mavis sings fu' cheerie O
	Sweet the crawflowr's early bell
	Decks Glenifer's dewy dell
	Bloomin' like yer bonnie sel'
	My young my artless dearie O
	Come my lassie let us stray
	O'er Glenkilloch's sunny brae
	And blythely spend the gowden day
	‘Midst joy thats never wearie O
	Tow'ring o'er the Newton woods
	Lav'rocks fan the snow-white clouds
	Siller saughs wi' downy buds
	Adorn the banks saw briery O
	Round the sylvan fairy nooks
	Feath'ry breckans fringe the rocks
	‘Neath the brae the burnie jouks
	And ilka thing is cheerie O
	Trees may bud and birds may sing
	Flowers may bloom and verdue spring
	But joy to me they canna bring
	Unless wi' ye my dearie O
	Trees may bud and birds may sing
	Flowers may bloom and verdue spring
	But joy to me they canna bring
	Unless wi' ye my dearie O
