[Verse 1]
When first we rode down Ettrick
Our bridles were ringing
Hearts dancing, sun glancing
Waters singing
And blithely our hearts
They rang out together
As we brushed the dew off
From the blooming heather
When first we rode down Ettrick

[Verse 2]
When next we rode down Ettrick
The day it was dying
Birds calling, leaves falling
Wind was sighing
And silent and weary
But closer together
As we pushed our steeds on through
The fading heather
When next wе rode down Ettrick

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
When last I rode down Ettrick
Thе winds they were shifting
My heart breaking, storm waking
Snow was drifting
For we never again
Will ride out together
Through sun, storm, or on
The mountain heather
When last I rode down Ettrick
[Verse 1]
When first we rode down Ettrick
Our bridles were ringing
Hearts dancing, sun glancing
Waters singing
And blithely our hearts
They rang out together
As we brushed the dew off
From the blooming heather
When first we rode down Ettrick
