TEXT:

O my love’s like a red, red rose, that’s newly sprung in June;

O my love’s like the melody that’s sweetly played in tune

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, so deep in love am I.

And I will love thee still, my dear, till all the seas gang dry.

Till all the seas gang dry, my dear, and the rocks melt wi’ the sun;

I will love thee still, my dear, while the sands of life shall run.

And fare thee weel my only love! And fare thee weel, a while!

And I will come again, my love, th’ it were ten thousand mile.
