[00:11.89]A fallen woman at Water of Hoy
[00:16.53]A life gone to ruin for a sailor boy
[00:26.01]He ran to the sea and turned a blind eye
[00:37.93]Fleetly forgotten no lovers' goodbye
[00:46.80]She took to the ocean to drown out the shame
[00:52.12]They held up their crosses and blackened her name
[01:01.86]Walked into the sea and summoned the tide
[01:14.56]No misbegotten from islander's life
[01:22.83]I'll die for my sins
[01:32.64]And the life within me
[01:42.71]They'll cut me down 'cause I'm a black rose
[01:52.15]But the scent lingers on where the howling wind blows
[02:02.65]The rope that I hold set free my soul
[02:07.34]Just hair, skin and bone for a soldier's peep show
[02:16.25]In the heather-clad hills forever enshrined
[02:28.96]Here lies a woman for love and for pride
[02:37.81]I'll die for my sins
[02:47.36]And the life within me
[02:57.64]They'll cut me down 'cause I'm a black rose
[03:06.76]But the scent lingers on where the howling wind blows
[03:20.41]I'm a black rose
