Lyrics

I hae wander'd mony a night in June,
Along the banks of Clyde,
Beneath a bright and bonnie moon,
Wi' Mary at my side: As summer was she to mine ee,
And to my heart a joy,
And weel she loo'd to raom wi' me,
Her Highland Minstrel boy,
I hae wander'd mony a night in June,
Along the banks of Clyde,
Beneath a bright and bonnie moon,
Wi' Mary at my side
