1 Just at the close of summer's day, How sweet the blooming blossom bean, So sweet the time I pass away, Wi' bonny Bet of Aberdeen.

Chorus Whene'er I sit beneath the shade, Or wander o'er the lee, To meet the charming village maid, That kindly smiles on me.

2 Shes fresh and fair as the voilet rose, The blihest lass that sports the green, I'll follow her where'er she goes, O bonny Bet of Aberdeen.

3 She vows she loves but me alone, And I believe her sparkling e'en, I long for to unite in one, Wi'bonny Bet of Aberdeen.

4 Our wedding day we'll crown wi joy, While the nymphs and swains dance on the green, And I shall be a happy boy, When blest wi' Bet of Aberdeen.
