| I've heard the lilting, at the yowe-milking, | I've heard the singing, at the ewe-milking, |
| Lassies a-lilting before dawn o' day; | Lassies a-singing before dawn of the day; |
| But now they are moaning on ilka green loaning; | But now they are moaning on every milking-green; |
| "The Flowers of the Forest are a' wede away". | "The Flowers of the Forest are all withered away". |
| | |
| Dool and wae for the order sent oor lads tae the Border! | Sorrow and woe for the order sent our lads to the Border! |
| The English for ance, by guile wan the day, | The English for once, by guile won the day, |
| The Flooers o' the Forest, that fought aye the foremost, | The Flowers of the Forest, that always fought the foremost, |
| The pride o' oor land lie cauld in the clay. | The pride of our land lies cold in the clay. |

| I've heard the lilting, at the yowe-milking, | I've heard the singing, at the ewe-milking, |
| Lassies a-lilting before dawn o' day; | Lassies a-singing before dawn of the day; |
| But now they are moaning on ilka green loaning; | But now they are moaning on every milking-green; |
| "The Flowers of the Forest are a' wede away". | "The Flowers of the Forest are all withered away". |
