Ower the moor amang the heather Ower the moor amang the heather By my life she shall be mine The bonnie lass amang the heather Comin' thro' the craigs o' Kyle Amang the bonnie bloomin' heather There I met a bonnie lassie Keeping a' her yowes the gither Chorus: Ower the moor amang the heather Ower the moor amang the heather There I met a bonnie lassie Keeping a' her yowes the gither Says I my dear whaur is your hame In moor or dale pray tell me whether Sir I tent the fleecy flocks That feed amang the bloomin' heather Chorus We laid us doon upon a bank Sae warm and sunny was the weather She left her flocks at large tae rove Amang the bonnie bloomin' heather Chorus While thus we lay she sang a sang Till echo rang a mile or further Aye the burden o' the sang Was ower the moor amang the heather Chorus She charmed my heart and aye sinsyne I couldnae think on onie ither By my life she shall be mine The bonnie lass amang the heather Chorus
