Oh Udny bonny Udny ye shine far ye stand
And the more I look on you ye make my heart warm
If I were in Udny I would think myself at home
For it’s there I’ve got a sweetheart but here I’ve got none
Over hills and through valleys how often I’ve gone
Through brambles and brushwood myself all alone
Through hedges and ditches on dark nights and clear
I’ve wandered to Udny to visit my dear
It’s nae the lang journey that I ha’e to go
It’s nae the lang road that vexes me sore
‘Tis the leavin’ o’ Udny and the loved ones behind
Oh Udny bonny Udny you’re aye in my mind
‘Twas on a certain Sunday oh me and my love met
Which caused me on the Monday to mourn o’er my fate
To spoil my eyes crying what a fool I would be
Since she’s gone to court another let her go where she will
A’ the young lads about Udny they are a’ rovin’ blades
They tak’ great delight in courtin’ fair maids
They tak’ them and kiss them aye and spend their money free
A’ the places in bonny Scotland bonny Udny for me
We’ll drink and be merry we’ll drink and ging hame
If we bide here muckle langer we’ll get a bad name
We’ll get a bad name aye and we’ll fill ourselves fu’
And the lang walks o’ Udny they’re a’ till gang through
