Of all the airts the wind can blow airts=compass points I dearly like the west, For there the bonnie lassie lives, The lassie I love best. There wild woods grow, and rivers row, row=run along And many a hill between, But day and night my fancy's flight Is ever with my Jean. I see her in the dewy flowers, I see her sweet and fair. I hear her in the tuneful birds, I hear her charm the air. There's not a bonnie flower that springs By fountain, shaw, or green, shaw=wood green=grassy land There's not a bonnie bird that sings But minds me of my Jean. minds=reminds
