Flow Gently Sweet Afton 
(alternate:) 
Flow Gently Sweet Afton 
Flow gently sweet Afton among thy green braes Flow gently I'll sing thee a song in thy praise My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream Flow gently sweet afton, disturb not her dream 
Thou stock dove whose echo resound through the glen Ye wild whistling blackbirds in yon thorny den Thou greencrested lapwing thy screaming forbear I charge you, disturb not my slumbering fair 
How lofty, sweet Afton, thy neighboring hills Far marked with the courses of clear winding rills There daily I wander as noon rises high My flocks and my Mary's sweet cot in my eye 
How pleasant thy banks and sweet valleys below Where wild are the woodlands, the primroses blow There oft, as mild evening weeps over the lea The sweet scented birk shades my Mary and me 
Thy crystal stream, afton, how lovely it glides And winds by the cot where my Mary resides How wanton the waters her snowy feet lave As gathering sweet flowers, she stems thy clear wave 
Flow gently sweet Afton among thy green braes Flow gently sweet river, the theme of my lays My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream Flow gently sweet Afton, disturb not her dream
