lyrics

The Rollin Hills O The Borders

I've travelled far, I've wandered wide

Seen the Hudson and the Clyde

I've courted by Loch Lomand side

But I dearly lou the borders

Chorus: When I die, bury me low

Where I can hear the bonnie Tweed flow

A sweeter place I'll never know

Than the rolling hills o' the borders

Well, dae I hae mind the day
Wae my lass I strolled by the Tay
But a' its beauty fades away
Amang the hills o' the borders

There's a certain place o' mind
Bonnie lassies there you'll find
And men sae sturdy and yet sae kind
Amang the hills o' the borders
