Lyrics:
Ower the moor amang the heather
Ower the moor amang the heather
By my life, she shall be mine
The bonnie lass amang the heather
Comin' thro' the craigs o' Kyle
Amang the bonnie bloomin' heather
There I met a bonnie lassie
Keeping a' her yowes thegither
Ower the moor amang the heather
Ower the moor amang the heather
There I met a bonnie lassie
Keeping a' her yowes thegither
Says I, "My dear, whaur is your hame?
In moor or dale, pray tell me whether"
"Sir, I tent the fleecy flocks
That feed amang the bloomin' heather"
Ower the moor amang the heather
Ower the moor amang the heather
Sir, I tent the fleecy flocks
That feed amang the bloomin' heather
We laid us doon upon a bank
Sae warm and sunny was the weather
She left her flocks at large tae rove
Amang the bonnie bloomin' heather
Ower the moor amang the heather
Ower the moor amang the heather
She left her flocks at large tae rove
Amang the bonnie bloomin' heather
While thus we lay she sang a sang
'Til echo rang a mile or further
Aye the burden o' the sang
Was ower the moor amang the heather
Ower the moor amang the heather
Ower the moor amang the heather
Aye the burden o' the sang
Was ower the moor amang the heather
She charmed my heart and aye sinsyne
I couldnae think on onie ither
By my life, she shall be mine
The bonnie lass amang the heather
Ower the moor amang the heather
Ower the moor amang the heather
By my life she shall be mine
The bonnie lass amang the heather
Ower the moor amang the heather
Ower the moor amang the heather
There I met a bonnie lassie
Keeping a' her yowes thegither
