It being in the springtime and the small birds they were singingDown by yon shady harbour I carelessly did strayThe thrushes they were warbling the violets they were charmingTo view fond lovers talking a while I did delayShe said my dear don't leave me for another seasonThough fortune does be pleasing I'll go along with youI'll forsake friends and relations and bid this only nationAnd to the bonny Bann banks forever I'll bid adieuHe said my dear don't grieve or yet annoy my patienceYou know I love you dearly the more I'm going awayI'm going to a foreign nation to purchase a plantationTo comfort us hereafter all in AmericaThen after a short while a fortune does be pleasingIt'll cause them for to smile at our late going awayWe'll be happy as Queen Victoria all in her greatest gloryWe'll be drinking wine and porter all in AmericaIf you were in your bed lying and thinking on dyingThe sight of the lovely Bann banks your sorrow you'd give overOr if you were down one hour down in yon shady bowerPleasure would surround you you'd think on death no moreThen fare you well sweet Craigie Hill where often times I've rovedI never thought my childhood days I'd part you any moreNow we're sailing on the ocean for honour and promotionAnd the bonny boats are sailing way down by Doorin shore
