'Twas on a simmer's afternoon

A wee afore the sun gaed doon

A lassie wi her braw new goon

The Rose bud washed in Simmer showers

Bloomed fresh within the sunny bower
But Kitty was the fairest flower

That e'er was seen in Gowrie

To see her cousin she cam there

And oh the scene was passing fair

The Mavis and the blackbird lay

Were sweetly heard in Gowrie

And truth and constancy had vowed,

Her faither was baith glad and wae;
F
Her mither she wad naething say;
C
The bairnies thocht they wad get play

If Kitty gaed to Gowrie.
She whiles did smile, she whiles did greet;
F
The blush and tear were on her cheek;
C
She naething said, and hung her head; -
F C
But now she's Leddy Gowrie.
She whiles did smile, she whiles did greet;
F
The blush and tear were on her cheek;

She naething said, and hung her head; -

But now she's Leddy Gowrie.
