As I rode down by Huntley's town one evening for to fee

I met with Bogie O' Cairnie and with him I did agree

To care for his two best horses or cart or harrow or plow

Or anything about farmwork that I very well should know

Well ol' Bogie he had a daughter and her name was Isabelle

She was the lily of the valley and primrose of the dell

And when she went a walking, oh she took me for her guide
FF G+G C majorC FF G+G
Down by the Burn of Cairnie for to watch the small fish glide

And when three months were passed and gone, well this girl lost her bloom

And the red fell from her rosy cheeks, and her eyes began to swoon

And another six months they were passed and gone, and she bore to me a son

So fare thee well me boys o' Huntley's town, and to Bogie's bonnie belle
