All Around My Hat
03:30
|
|||
Chorus:
All around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For a twelve month and a day
And if anyone should ask me
the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love
Who's far, far away
Fare thee well cold winter
And fare thee well cold frost
Nothing have I gained
but my own true love I've lost
I'll sing and I'll be merry
When occasion I be seen
He's a fast eluding young man
Let him go! farewell he!
(Chorus)
The other night he brought me
A fine diamond ring
But he thought to deprive me
Of the fire that it beams
But I am being careful
Like lovers aught to be
He's a fast eluding young man
Let him go! farewell he!
(Chorus)
There's a quarter pound of reason
And a half pound of sense
A small spring of time
And as much of prudence
You mix them all together
And you will plainly see
He's a fast eluding young man
Let him go! farewell he!
(Chorus)

Hares On The Mountain
02:59
|
|||
Young women they run like hares on the mountain
And if I was a young man I'd soon go a hunting
Young women they sing like birds in the bushes
And If I was a young man I'd go beat them bushes
Young women they swim like ducks on the water
And If I was a young man I'd go swimming after
Young women they run like hares on the mountain
And if I was a young man I'd soon go a hunting

Loch Lomond
03:51
|
|||
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines so bright on Loch Lomond.
where me and my true love would ever want to be
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
Chorus:
You take the high road and I'll take the low road,
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond,
Where in deep purple hue the Highland hills did view,
And the moon all came out in the gloamin'.
(chorus)
The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping;
But the broken heart will ken nae a second spring again,
Tho' the waefu' may cease frae their greetin'
(chorus with feeling)

Skye Boat Song
04:25
|
|||
Chorus:
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward! the sailors cry;
Carry the lad that is born to be King
Over the sea to Skye.
Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,
Thunderclouds rend the air;
Baffled, our foes stand by the shore,
Follow they will not dare.
Though the waves leap, so soft shall ye sleep,
Ocean's a royal bed.
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head.
(Chorus)
Many's the lad fought on that day,
Well the Claymore did wield,
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on Culloden's field.
Burned are their homes, exile and death
Scatter the loyal men;
Yet ere the sword cool in the sheath
Charlie will come again.
(Chorus)
