Lyrics:
O, my love is like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June
O, my love is like a melody
That's sweetly played in tune
So fair art thou, my bonnie love
So deep in love am I
And I will love thee still, my dear
Till a' the seas gang dry
Till a' the seas gang dry my dear
And the rocks melt wi' the sun
And I will love thee still, my dear
While the sands of life shall run
So fare thee weel, my only love
And fare thee weel awhile
And I will come again, my dear
Tho' 'twere ten thousand mile
O, my love is like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June
O, my love is like a melody
That's sweetly played in tune
So fare thee weel, my only love
And fare thee weel awhile
And I will come again, my dear
Tho' 'twere ten thousand mile
