Lyrics

Oh, the lass that I loved first of all was handsome, young and fair
Wi' her I spent some merry nights way on the banks of Ayr
Wi' her I spent some merry nights way on wee burnie rows
Whaur the echo mocks the corncrake among the whinnie knowes
We loved each other dearly and disputes we seldom had
As constant as the pendulum, her heart beat always glad
We sought for joy and found it way on wee burnie rows
Whaur the echo mocks the corncrake among the whinnie knowes
Oh, ye maidens fair and pleasure dame, drive tae the banks o' Doon
You’ll dearly pay for every cent tae the barbers for perfume
But rural joy is free to all where scented clover grows
Whaur the echo mocks the corncrake among the whinnie knowes
Oh the corncrake, he is noo awa', the burnie's tae the brim
The whinnie knowes are clad wi' snow that haps the highest whin
When gloomy winter gangs awa' and summer clears the sky
Oh, we'll welcome back the corncrake, that bard o' rural joy
