Tour Scotland Video Ye Banks and Braes O' Bonnie Doon Taybank Pub Dunkeld Perthshire January 8th

Tour Scotland video shot today of Dougie Law playing Ye Banks and Braes O' Bonnie Doon tune by Robert Burns in the Taybank Pub in Dunkeld, Perthshire, Scotland. Dougie is a friend of mine from Aberfeldy. He took a break from eating his Stovies to play this tune.

This is another lovely tune.

Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon,
How can ye bloom sae fair!
How can ye chant, ye little birds,
And I sae fu' o' care!

Thou'll break my heart, thou bonnie bird
That sings upon the bough;
Thou minds me o' the happy days
When my fause Luve was true.

Thou'll break my heart, thou bonnie bird
That sings beside thy mate;
For sae I sat, and sae I sang,
And wist na o' my fate.

Aft hae I roved by bonnie Doon
To see the woodbine twine,
And ilka bird sang o' its love;
And sae did I o' mine.

Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose
Frae aff its thorny tree;
And my fause luver staw the rose,
But left the thorn wi' me.
