One morning in springtime as day was a dawning |
| [00:27.93] |
Bright Phoebus had risen from over the lea |
| [00:39.39] |
I spied a fair maiden as homeward she wandered |
| [00:48.26] |
From herding her flocks on the hills of Glenshee |
| [01:00.12] |
I stood in amazement, says I, "Pretty fair maid |
| [01:09.49] |
If you will come down to St. John's Town with me |
| [01:19.32] |
There's ne'er been a lady set foot in my castle |
| [01:29.30] |
There's ne'er been a lady dressed grander than thee" |
| [01:41.21] |
A coach and six horses to go at your bidding |
| [01:49.89] |
And all men that speak shall say "ma'am unto thee |
| [01:58.90] |
Fine servants to serve you and go at your bidding |
| [02:09.60] |
I'll make you my bride, my sweet lass of Glenshee |
| [02:25.33] |
"Oh what do I care for your castles and coaches? |
| [02:35.30] |
And what do I care for your gay grandeury? |
| [02:44.15] |
I'd rather be home at my cot, at my spinning |
| [02:54.54] |
Or herding my flocks on the hills of Glenshee" |
| [03:06.68] |
"Away with such nonsense and get up beside me |
| [03:15.42] |
E'er summer comes on my sweet bride you will be |
| [03:25.45] |
And then in my arms I will gently caress thee" |
| [03:34.81] |
'Twas then she consented, I took her with me |
| [03:49.20] |
Seven years have rolled on since we were united |
| [03:59.45] |
There's many's a change, but there's no change on me |
| [04:09.29] |
And my love, she's as fair as that morn on the mountain |
| [04:20.21] |
When I plucked me a wild rose on the hills of Glenshee |
