" BOTHWELL BANK, THOU BLOOMEST FAIR.
ON the blythe Beltane, as I went Be mysel' along the green bent, When by the crystal waves of Clyde, Thro' saughs and hanging hazels glyde, There, sadly sitting on a brae I heard a damsel speak her say.
Oh ! Bothwell bank, thou bloomest fair, But, oh ! thou makest iny heart fu' sair, For a' beneath thy holts sae green My love and I wad sit at een ; While primroses and daisies, mixt Wi' blue bells, in my locks he fixt.
But ah J he left ae dreary day, And hapl...y now sleeps in the clay, Without ae sich his dethe to mourn, Without ae flouir his grave to croun ! Oh ! Bothwell bank, thou bloomest fair, But, ah, thou makest my heart fu ; sair !
Pinkerton first gave these lines to the world in his " Select Scottish Ballads, " in 1773, as the old words of the ancient and beautiful air of " Bothwell Bank. " Some, however, suspect he was author of these verses himself.
SWEET MARY, ADIEU ! 181 THE VALE OF CLYDE.
ADMIRING nature's simple charms, I left my humble home, Awhile my country's peaceful plains With pilgrim steps to roam ; I marked the leafy summer wave On flowing Irvine's side, But richer far 's the robe she wears Within the vale of Clyde.
