Lyrics
O, Willie, my son, what makes you so sad
As the sun shines over the valley?
I lie sorely sick for the love of a maid
Among the blue flowers and the yellow
O, is she an heiress or a lady fine
As the sun shines over the valley?
That she willnae tak' nae pity on thee
Among the blue flowers and the yellow
Though all your kin were about yon bower
As the sun shines over the valley
You shall no be a maiden once single ower
Among the blue flowers and the yellow
For a maid you came here wi' oot a convoy
As the sun shines over the valley
And ye shall return wi' a horse and a boy
Among the blue flowers and the yellow
You came here a maiden sae meek and sae mild
As the sun shines over the valley
But ye shall gie him a wedded wife wi' a child
Among the blue flowers and the yellow
