As I walked out on a May morning

By the verdant braes o' Skreen
 C majorC             G+G
I leaned my back tae a mossy tree

To view the dew on the forest green
            C majorC
The dew on the far country

    C majorC              G+G
For the wee birds all have come and gone
   C majorC  G+G     FF     G+G
Since I my love have seen,” he said

“Since I my love have seen”

And I'll not heed what a young man says
