O Rowan tree, [A] [D] O Rowan tree, [G] Thou'lt I be dear to [D] me,
Entwined thou art [A]
[D] with many [G]
ties [D] Of hame [A] and [G]
[D] infancy.
Thy leaves were I the [G] first of spring, [D] Thy flowers the [A] summer's pride.
There
[D] was [A] nested [D] a bonny [G] tree [D] In [A] old [G]
[D] Huntry's side, O [A]
[D] Rowan tree.
How fair wert thou [A]
[D] in summer time, [G] With all thy clusters [D] white!
How rich and [A] gay [D] thy autumn [G]
dress, [D] With berries [A] red [D] and bright!
On thy fair stem [G] were many names, [D] Which [G] now [D] nimmer I see,
[G]
[D] But there [A] engraven [D] on [G] my [D] heart Forgot [G] they ne'er [D] can be.
O Rowan,
[G]
[D] [A]
[D]
we sat beneath [A] [D] Thy spreading shade, [G] The bairns round thee ran.
[D]
They pecked thy [A] bonny [D] berries [G]
red, [D] And necklaces [Em] [D] they strang.
My mother, O [G] I see her still, [D] She smiled our sports to see.
[A] [D] Weighed little [A] Jeannie [D] On [G] her [D] lap and Jamie at her knee.
O Rowan tree, O there [A] arose [D] My father's prayer [G] In holy evening
[D] calm.
How sweet was then [A] [D] My [G] mother's [D] voice In the martyr's song.
Now all are gone, [G] we meet ne'er, [D]
Beneath the Rowan tree.
[A] [Em] [D]
But hallowed thoughts [A]
[D] around thee [G]
[D] twine, O hame [A] and [G]
[D] infancy.
O [A]
Rowan [D] tree.
