Far are ye gan the day, my Willie-o
Far are ye gan the day, sae blithe and bonnie
Gan o'r the knowe and doon the brae
Tae serve the king you were bound away
Fan will ye come hame tae your Jamie
Do ye mind how all the winter's nichts
Ye'd keep me frae hairm
The lang warm days in the summer's licht
Doon on Hully's fairm
Fan you an me would be sae free
Frae thochts and frae cares
'Til the sairgeant, he cam roond
And took ye frae ma airms
Ye mind the day ye first came by
Ye came for the shearing
Do ye mind how I caught yer roving eye
But noo I'm left here fearin
For no the da ken fan we'll be
Back again thegither
You are far now o'er the sea
Fan will oor bairnie see his faither?
I saw ye tak the lang road doon
Yer claes all in a bundle
Soon lost the sound o yer trampin shoon
Ma hert’s in a tumble
As I saw yer heid gang oot a sicht
As I looked across the Mearns
Fa will bide wi me the nicht
Fa will I haud ma bairn

The Farewell
05:21

It was a' for our rightful King
We left fair Scotland's strand
It was a' for our rightful King
We e'er saw Irish land my dear
We e'er saw Irish land
Now all is done that men can do
And all is done in vain
My love and native land, farewell
For I must cross the main, my dear
For I must cross the main
A soldier from the war returns
A sailor from the main
But I have parted from my love
Never to meet again, my dear
Never to meet again
He turned him right and round about
Upon the Irish shore
And gave his bridle reins a shake
With adieu for evermore, my dear
With adieu for evermore
When day is done, and night has come
And all folk bound to sleep
I think o' him that 's far away
The lee-lang night, and weep, y dear
The lee-lang night, and weep

Rivers Run

This weary earth we walk upon
She will endure when we are gone
While kingdoms come and kingdoms go
Rivers run and rivers flow
You know I don't believe it's true
That in this world there's nothing new
For darling, you have just begun
Rivers flow and rivers run
And if the river should ever run dry
Somewhere the rain will still fall
Will still fall from the sky
When I'm beguiled by the fear
That darker days are drawing near
My darling, you seduce the sun
Rivers flow and rivers run
This wounded earth we walk upon
She will endure when we are gone
But still I pray that you may know
How rivers run and rivers flow
I cross my heart and I hope to live
Just long enough that I can give
It all to you, my darling one
Rivers flow and rivers run
My darling one
Rivers flow and rivers run

Lads Among Heather
02:35

|

Come all ye young lasses, where have you been
So sleepy so drowsy I ken by your e’en
In all the wide world you’ll ne’er find a friend
Like the lads that were reared among heather
Gae awa wi your silks, your satins and shawls
Your soirees and parties and your elegant balls
For a dance in the barn is worth ten in the hall
With the lads that were reared among heather
When the queen needs good soldiers she knows where to send
To the mountains and valleys, the hills and the glens
With their bonnets and plaids they are true to the end
Are the lads that were reared among heather
Fair England can boast of the sweet scented rose
And Ireland is proud of the shamrock she grows
But give me the land where the clear water flows
And the mountains are covered in heather
