Chorus (after each verse): Oh braw, braw lads o' Gala Water Bonnie lads o' Gala Water Let them a' say whate'er they may __ as I tae Gala Water Braw, braw bonnie lads O It's ower yon moss an' ower yon moor Ower yon bonnie hill o' heather Let them a' say whate'er they may __ as I tae Gala Water Braw, braw bonnie lads O It's lords an' lairds cam here tae woo An' gentlemen wi' sword, aye an' dagger But the black-eyed lads o' Galashiels Will hae nane but the gree o' Gala Water Braw, braw bonnie lads O Fareweel tae you, proud Galashiels Fareweel, my mither an' my faither I'll awa' wi' the black-haired lad That keeps his sheep on Gala Water Braw, braw bonnie lads O Ower yon moss an' ower yon moor Ower yon bonnie hills sae drearie The lassie lost her silken snood Gar'd her greet, for she was wearie Braw, braw bonnie lads O (Chorus 2x)
