[00:39.51]Oh rowan tree oh rowan tree
[00:43.87]Thou'lt aye be dear to me
[00:47.78]Entwined thou art wi mony ties
[00:52.26]O' hame and infancy
[00:56.47]Thy leaves were aye the first o' spring
[01:00.64]Thy flow'rs the summer's pride
[01:04.56]There was nae such a bonny tree
[01:09.04]In a' the countrieside
[01:13.23]Oh rowan tree rowan tree rowan tree
[01:27.72]Oh rowan tree
[01:31.88]Oh rowan tree
[01:37.87]How fair wert thou in summer time
[01:42.40]Wi' a' thy clusters white
[01:46.34]How rich and gay thy autumn dress
[01:50.74]Wi' berries red and bright
[01:54.76]On thy fair stem were many names
[01:59.18]Which now nae mair I see
[02:03.00]But they're engraven on my heart
[02:07.44]Forgot they ne'er can be
[02:11.37]Oh rowan tree
[02:22.10]Rowan tree rowan tree rowan tree
[02:36.40]Oh rowan tree
[02:40.68]Oh rowan tree
[02:46.84]We sat aneath thy spreading shade
[02:51.25]The bairnies round thee ran
[02:55.16]They pu'd thy bonny berries red
[02:59.61]And necklaces they strang
[03:03.62]My mother oh I see her still
[03:08.04]She smil'd oor sports to see
[03:11.92]Wi' little Jeanie on her lap
[03:16.38]And Jamie at her knee
[03:20.24]Oh there arose my father's pray'r
[03:24.63]In holy evening's calm
[03:28.57]How sweet was then my mother's voice
[03:33.15]In the martyr's psalm
[03:37.16]Now a' are gone we meet nae mair
[03:41.39]Aneath the rowan tree
[03:45.25]But hallowed thoughts around thee twine
[03:49.86]O' hame and infancy
[03:55.68]Oh rowan tree
[03:59.88]Oh rowan tree
[04:03.98]Oh rowan tree
