When summer time is bloomin'
And the air's filled wi' perfumin'
I walk in time forgotten
Wi' my bonnie belle o' Broughton
Chorus:
And though now your hair is silver
And your beauty's gone forever
I hae no' forgotten
That ye were the belle o' Broughton
For at harvest time and dancin'
The young bucks wid come prancin'
In love they were besotten
By the bonnie belle o' Broughton
Ah, you and I together
Would wander by the river
In a dress o' silk and satin
Ye were my bonnie belle o' Broughton
