John Andersen my jo, John, sweetheart

When we were first acquent,

Your locks were like the raven,

Your bonnie brow was brent; straight

But now your brow is beld, John, bald

Your locks are like the snaw;

But blessings on your frosty pow, head

John Anderson, my jo.

John Anderson my jo, John,

We clamb the hill thegither;
