A RED, RED ROSE 

Robert Burns 

O, My Love Is Like A Red Red Rose

That's newly sprung in June

O, My Love is like a melody

That's sweetly played in tune

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,

So deep in love am I

And I will love thee still, my dear,

Till all the seas gang dry.

Till all the seas gang dry, my dear,

And the rocks melt with the sun

O, I will love thee still, my dear

While the sands of life shall run

And fare thee well, my only love

And fare thee well a while!

And I will come again, my love

Though it were ten thousand mile

O my love is the red, red rose, 

That's newly sprung in June; 

O my love is like the Melodie, 

That's sweetly played in tune. 

As fair art thou, my bionic lass, 

So deep in love am I; 

And I will love thee still, my dear, 

Till the seas gang dry: 

Till the seas gang dry, my dear, 

And the rocks melt wi the sun; 

O I will love thee still, my dear, 

While the sands o life shall run. 

And fare thee weel, my only love! 

And fare thee weel a while! 

And I will come again. my Love, 

Tho it was ten thousand miles.
