| | | THERE ’s douce auld carles yont the Craft, | |
| An’ winsome wives in Broughty Ferry; | |
| There ’s bonny maids in Lillybank, | |
| But nane like my Glenisla Mary. | |
| |
| The Seidlaw Hills are wreathed wi’ snaw, | 5 |
| The breakers roar aboon the Ferry; | |
| But when the gowan decks the Law, | |
| I ’ll meet my dear Glenisla Mary. | |
| |
| The wind and tide may change and veer, | |
| But love like mine can never vary; | 10 |
| For lang as light to life is dear, | |
| I ’ll love thee, sweet Glenisla Mary. | | | | |
