Song lyrics without the chords.
When I die, bury me low
Where I can hear the bonny Tweed flow;
A sweeter place I never did know,
Than the rolling hills of the borders.
I have travelled far and wide,
Seen the Hudson and the Clyde,
I've courted by Loch Lomond's side,
But I dearly love the borders.
It’s well that I can mind the day,
With my lass I strolled by the Tay,
But all his beauty fades away,
Among the hills of the borders.
There's a certain peace of mind
Bonnie lassies there you'll find
The men are hard but yet so kind,
Among the hills of the borders
When I die, bury me low
Where I can hear the bonny Tweed flow;
A sweeter place I never did know,
Than the rolling hills of the borders.
I have travelled far and wide,
Seen the Hudson and the Clyde,
I've courted by Loch Lomond's side,
But I dearly love the borders.
It’s well that I can mind the day,
With my lass I strolled by the Tay,
But all his beauty fades away,
Among the hills of the borders.
There's a certain peace of mind
Bonnie lassies there you'll find
The men are hard but yet so kind,
Among the hills of the borders
