	[al:]
[00:07.14]	One morn in May when fields were gay,
[00:09.52]	Serene and pleasant was the weather,
[00:12.77]	I spied a lass and a very bonny lass,
[00:15.03]	She was sweeping the dew from among the heather
[00:17.66]	Down the moor.
[00:19.33]	And among the heather,
[00:21.83]	O'er the moor, through the heather
[00:23.84]	I spied a lass and a very bonny lass
[00:25.91]	She was sweeping the dew from among the heather
[00:28.52]	Down the moor.
[00:30.95]	Bare footed was she, she was comely dressed
[00:33.24]	And her head bore neither hat nor feather,
[00:36.56]	She'd a plaid wrapped neatly round her waist
[00:39.09]	As she tripped through the blooming heather
[00:41.56]	Down the moor.
[00:43.23]	And among the heather,
[00:44.45]	O'er the moor, through the heather
[00:47.98]	She'd ha plaid wrapped neatly round her waist
[00:50.10]	As she tripped through the blooming heather
[00:52.48]	Down the moor.
[01:07.05]	I stepped up to this fair young maid,
[01:09.42]	“Tell your name, come tell me hither.”
[01:12.65]	She answered me, “Down by the bonny burn side
[01:15.08]	I am herding all my ewes together
[01:17.45]	Down the moor.”
[01:19.16]	And among the heather,
[01:20.59]	O'er the moor, through the heather
[01:23.61]	She answered me, “Down by the bonny burn side
[01:26.12]	I am herding all my ewes together
[01:28.50]	Down the moor.”
[01:43.11]	I courted her that live-long day,
[01:45.64]	My heart as light as any feather,
[01:48.72]	Until the beams of the red-setting sun
[01:51.11]	Come a-shining down in among the heather
[01:53.38]	Down the moor.
[01:55.09]	And among the heather,
[01:56.32]	O'er the moor, through the heather
[01:59.64]	Until the beams of the red-setting sun
[02:01.87]	Come a-shining down in among the heather
[02:04.44]	Down the moor.
[02:07.03]	she said “Young man, I must away,
[02:08.50]	My ewes are straying from each other.
[02:12.68]	But I'm as loath for to part with you
[02:15.10]	As the bonnie wee lambs to part their mother
[02:17.73]	Down the moor.
[02:19.37]	And among the heather,
[02:20.69]	O'er the moor, through the heather
[02:23.91]	But I'm as loath for to part with you
[02:26.25]	As the bonnie wee lambs to part their mother
[02:28.66]	Down the moor”
[02:31.03]	So up she got and away she went,
[02:33.39]	And her name and place I cannot gather.
[02:36.47]	But if I was a king I would make her a queen,
[02:39.26]	The bonnie lass I met in among the heather
[02:41.53]	Down the moor.
