Verse 1
Oh Rowan Tree, Oh Rowan Tree Thou'lt Aye Be Dear To Me
Entwined Thou Art Wi' Many Ties Of Hame And Infancy
Thy Leaves Were Aye The First Of Spring
Thy Flowers The Summer's Pride
There Was Nae Such A Bonnie Tree In All The Country Side
Verse 2
How Fair Were Thou In Summer Time With All Thy Clusters White
How Rich And Gay Thy Autumn Dress, With Berries Red And Bright
On Thy Fair Stem Were Many Names Which Now No More I See
But They're Engraven On My Heart, Forgot They Never Can Be
Verse 3
We Sat Beneath Thy Spreadin' Shade The Bairns Around Thee Ran
They Pull'd Thy Bonnie Berries Red, And Necklaces They Strang
My Mother, Oh I See Her Still, She Smiled Our Sports To See
With Little Jeannie On Her Lap, And Jamie On Her Knee
Verse 4
Oh There Arose My Father's Prayer In Holy Evening's Calm
How Sweet Was Then My Mother's Voice In The Martyr's Psalm
Now All Are Gone We Meet No Mare Aneath The Rowan Tree
But Hallowed Thoughts Around Thee Turn Of Home And Infancy
