I went for a tripe to the Hie-lans.
When the heather was bonnie in bloom,
When a something there entered my feelin's.
When a something there settled my doom.
Twas a lass by the name o' MacGregor,
The twink of her eye was the thing;
Since I've seen the walk o' her figure,
I've done naething but constantly sing:

Chorus

Flower o' the heather,
My Heather Belle.
I know she knows I love her
More than tongue can tell.
Aye blushin' bonnie,
Fresh as the spring in the well;
Flower o' the heather,
My Heather Belle. Belle.

verse 2

I never thought I would be captured,
The last of my thoughts was a girl,
But then when a fellow's enraptured
He seems to get into a whirl,
He staggers and then he gets dizzy,
He wobbles and then takes a seat;
While he's dizzy the lassie gets busy,
When he wakens up she has him beat.

Chorus

verse 3

I always thought I would be single
And live by myself all alone,
But love come along with her jingle.
And now I'm a gon-ner, I'm gone.
But I'll work and I'll save ev'ry sixpense,
I'll save till I save twenty pounds,
'Cause I recognize she's my existence,
I'll dress her in pure silken gowns.

Chorus

verse 4

Since I met this lassie MacGregor,
I have had a new lease o' life,
I think I've grown six inches bigger.
Since she's promised me she'll be my wife.
I am feelin' twice stronger than Samson,
There is nothing like love, love's the thing,
And as long as my name's Sandy Jamson,
As long as I'm living I'll sing:

Chorus
