Verse 1Oh Rowan Tree, Oh Rowan Tree Thou'lt Aye Be Dear To MeEntwined Thou Art Wi' Many Ties Of Hame And InfancyThy Leaves Were Aye The First Of SpringThy Flowers The Summer's PrideThere Was Nae Such A Bonnie Tree In All The Country SideVerse 2How Fair Were Thou In Summer Time With All Thy Clusters WhiteHow Rich And Gay Thy Autumn Dress, With Berries Red And BrightOn Thy Fair Stem Were Many Names Which Now No More I SeeBut They're Engraven On My Heart, Forgot They Never Can BeVerse 3We Sat Beneath Thy Spreadin' Shade The Bairns Around Thee RanThey Pull'd Thy Bonnie Berries Red, And Necklaces They StrangMy Mother, Oh I See Her Still, She Smiled Our Sports To SeeWith Little Jeannie On Her Lap, And Jamie On Her KneeVerse 4Oh There Arose My Father's Prayer In Holy Evening's CalmHow Sweet Was Then My Mother's Voice In The Martyr's PsalmNow All Are Gone We Meet No Mare Aneath The Rowan TreeBut Hallowed Thoughts Around Thee Turn Of Home And Infancy
