White Rose Of June by Lady Nairne
White Rose Of June
G Em C G
Noo the bricht sun, and the soft simmer shoowers
Em C Em
Deck a’ the woods and the gairden wi’ flewers;
G Am Em C
But bonnie and sweet though the hale o’ them be,
G Am C G
There’s ane abune a’ that is dearest to me
Em C Em
And O, that’s the white rose, the white rose o’ June,
G Em C Em
And may he that should wear it come back again sune!
G Em C G
It’s no on my breast, nor yet in my hair
Em C Em
That the dear emblem I venture to wear;
G Am Em C
But it blooms in my heart, and its white leaves I weet,
G Am C G
When alane in the goamin’ I wander to greet,
Em C Em
O’er the white rose, the white rose, o’ June;
G Em C Em
And may he that should wear it come back again sune!
G Em C G
Mair fragrant and rich the red rose may be
Em C Em
But there is nae spell to bind it to me
G Am Em C
But dear to my heart and to fond memorie,
G Am C G
Though scathed and though blighted the white rose maybe
Em C Em
O the white rose, the white rose, the white rose o’ June,
G Em C Em
O may he that should wear it come back again sune!
G Em C G
And oh! may the true hearts thy perils who share,
Em C Em
Remembered wi’ tears and remembered in prayer,
G Am Em C
Whom misfortune’s rude blast has sent far awa’,
G Am C G
Fair breezes bring back sune to cottage and ha’;—
Em C Em
Then, O sing the white rose, the white rose o’ June,
G Em C Em
And may he that should wear it wear Scotland’s auld croun!
