'Twas in that season of the year  3-4 
From Roslin Castle's echoing walls 
Ye sportsmen draw near and ye sportswomen too  4-5 
Banish sorrow, grief and folly  5-6 
My love was once a bonny lad  6-7 
'Twas summer, and softly the breezes were blowing 
Come haste to the wedding, ye friends and ye neighbors 
Ye sons of France, awake to glory

'Twas once that I loved a bonny, bonny boy  32-33 
Attention pray give, while of hobbies I sing  33-34 
How imperfect is expression  34-35 
'Twas post meridian half past four  35-36 
I that once was a ploughman, a sailor am now  36-37 
Cease, a while, ye winds to blow  37-38 
Saw you my hero, saw you my Hero  38-39 
There was once an old widow, and she had a son  39-40 
Rose-tree in full bearing, The  40
