Busk ye, busk ye, my bonnie, bonnie bride,
Busk ye, busk ye, my winsome marrow
Busk ye, busk ye, my bonnie, bonnie bride,
And think nae mair o' the braes of Yarrow.
Where got ye that bonnie, bonnie, bride?
Where got ye that winsome marrow?
I got her where I darena well be seen,
Pu'ing the birks on the braes of Yarrow.
