One bright summer morning as day was a dawning |
| [00:13.83] |
Bright Phoebus had risen shone over the lea |
| [00:19.52] |
I spied a fair maiden all down by the river |
| [00:24.32] |
While herding her flocks on the hills of Glenshee |
| [00:32.27] |
|
| [00:32.52] |
I stood in amazement, said I, "Pretty fair maid |
| [00:37.60] |
If you will come down to James Town with me |
| [00:43.31] |
There's ne'er been a lady set foot in my castle |
| [00:48.10] |
There's ne'er been a lady dressed grander than thee" |
| [00:56.02] |
|
| [00:56.27] |
"A coach and six horses to go at your bidding |
| [01:01.08] |
And all men that speak shall say "ma'am unto thee" |
| [01:05.83] |
Fine servants to serve you and go at your bidding |
| [01:10.50] |
I'll make you my bride, my sweet lass of Glenshee" |
| [01:32.77] |
|
| [01:33.02] |
"Oh what do I care for your castles and coaches? |
| [01:38.06] |
And what do I care for your gay grandeury? |
| [01:42.44] |
I'd rather be home at my cot, at my spinning |
| [01:47.22] |
Or herding my flocks on the hills of Glenshee" |
| [01:52.84] |
|
| [01:53.09] |
"Away with such nonsense and get up beside me |
| [01:57.96] |
When summer has come my sweet bride you will be |
| [02:02.63] |
And then in my arms I will gently caress thee" |
| [02:07.41] |
'Twas then she consented, I took her with me |
| [02:29.22] |
|
| [02:47.31] |
|
| [02:47.56] |
Many years have rolled on since we were united |
| [02:52.33] |
There's many's a change, but there's no change on me |
| [02:58.08] |
And my love, she's as fair as that morn on the mountain |
| [03:03.12] |
I plucked me a wild rose (on the hills of Glenshee) |
