My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose
(Robert Burns)
0, my luve is like a red, red rose,
that's newly sprung in June.
0, my love is like a melodie,
that's sweetly play'd in tune.
As fair thou art, my bonnie lass,
so deep in luve am I,
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
till a' the seas gang dry.
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/my-love-is-like-a-red-red-rose-lyrics-burns-robert.html ]
and the rocks melt wi' the sun!
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
while the sands of life shall run.
And fare the weel, my only luve!
And fare the well awhile!
And I will come again, my love.
Tho it were ten thousand mile!

The tune is not "Major Graham's Red Red Rose." It may be the tune "Major Graham," written by Niel Gow - which was the tune Robert Burns originally set the poem (a trad Scots song which he published) to. But the song was set to other tunes & published in 1797 (the year after Burns died), a few years later, and in 1821. It's not clear which tune this is, but Major Graham is a tune title, not a composer.
