Gala Water - Old Blind Dogs

Oh braw, braw lads o' Gala Water

Bonnie lads o' Gala Water

Let them a' say whate’er they may

__ as I tae Gala Water

Braw, braw bonnie lads O

It’s ower yon moss an' ower yon moor

Ower yon bonnie hill o' heather

Let them a' say whate’er they may

__ as I tae Gala Water

Braw, braw bonnie lads O

It’s lords an' lairds cam here tae woo

An' gentlemen wi' sword, aye an' dagger

But the black-eyed lads o' Galashiels

Will hae nane but the gree o' Gala Water

Braw, braw bonnie lads O

Fareweel tae you, proud Galashiels

Fareweel, my mither an' my faither

I’ll awa' wi' the black-haired lad

That keeps his sheep on Gala Water

Braw, braw bonnie lads O

Ower yon moss an' ower yon moor

Ower yon bonnie hills sae drearie

The lassie lost her silken snood

Gar’d her greet, for she was wearie

Braw, braw bonnie lads O
