[Verse]
Dm                  F
Oh but the oors rin fast awa

           Dm     Am   C  Dm
Like the Kelvin tae the Clyde,

  Dm                   F
Sin’ on its bonnie gowan banks

   Dm       Am  C     Dm
I wooed thee for my bride

F                    C
My ain dear love sae sweet and fair

Dm                 A7
Sae artless and sae young,

Dm                         F
Then love was a’ the grief we kent

    Dm   Am   C   Dm
And you my only care
[Chorus]
Dm              C
Time wears awa, time wears awa,

    Dm           A7
And winna let us be,

    Dm                  F
It stole the wild rose frae your cheek

         Dm         Am  C     Dm
And the blyth blink frae your ee
[Verse]
Dm                          F
When woods were green and flooers fair

       Dm     Am C    Dm
While you were a’ my ain,

Dm                   F
I little reckoned what years would bring

 Dm       Am  C       Dm
O poortith, toil and pain

F                    C
Some waefu oors hae flapped their wings

Dm                 A7
Dark shadows ower oor lot,

Dm                       F
Sin like twa cushats o the glen

      Dm   Am      C   Dm
We strayed in this dear spot
[Chorus]
Dm              C
Time wears awa, time wears awa,

    Dm           A7
And winna let us be,

    Dm                  F
It stole the wild rose frae your cheek

         Dm         Am  C     Dm
And the blyth blink frae your ee
[Verse]
Dm                  F
The voices o these happy days

            Dm     Am C    Dm
Steal on oor dreams by night,

 Dm                   F
And cherished mem'ries rise and glow

 Dm       Am  C      Dm
Wi their depairted light

F                    C
But still the birds and burnies sing

Dm              A7
Their 'wildered melodies,

Dm                      F
As in the gowden dawn o life

        Dm   Am C      Dm
When we were young and free
[Chorus]
Dm              C
Time wears awa, time wears awa,

    Dm           A7
And winna let us be,

    Dm                  F
It stole the wild rose frae your cheek

         Dm         Am  C     Dm
And the blyth blink frae your ee
