Song | Gloomy Winter |
Artist | Dougie MacLean |
Album | Tribute: to Robert Burns, Neil Gow and Robert Tannahill |
Gloomy winter's now awa | |
Soft the westlin' breezes blaw | |
‘Mang the birks o' Stanley shaw | |
The mavis sings fu' cheerie O | |
Sweet the crawflowr's early bell | |
Decks Glenifer's dewy dell | |
Bloomin' like yer bonnie sel' | |
My young my artless dearie O | |
Come my lassie let us stray | |
O'er Glenkilloch's sunny brae | |
And blythely spend the gowden day | |
‘Midst joy thats never wearie O | |
Tow'ring o'er the Newton woods | |
Lav'rocks fan the snow-white clouds | |
Siller saughs wi' downy buds | |
Adorn the banks saw briery O | |
Round the sylvan fairy nooks | |
Feath'ry breckans fringe the rocks | |
‘Neath the brae the burnie jouks | |
And ilka thing is cheerie O | |
Trees may bud and birds may sing | |
Flowers may bloom and verdue spring | |
But joy to me they canna bring | |
Unless wi' ye my dearie O | |
Trees may bud and birds may sing | |
Flowers may bloom and verdue spring | |
But joy to me they canna bring | |
Unless wi' ye my dearie O |
Gloomy winter' s now awa | |
Soft the westlin' breezes blaw | |
' Mang the birks o' Stanley shaw | |
The mavis sings fu' cheerie O | |
Sweet the crawflowr' s early bell | |
Decks Glenifer' s dewy dell | |
Bloomin' like yer bonnie sel' | |
My young my artless dearie O | |
Come my lassie let us stray | |
O' er Glenkilloch' s sunny brae | |
And blythely spend the gowden day | |
' Midst joy thats never wearie O | |
Tow' ring o' er the Newton woods | |
Lav' rocks fan the snowwhite clouds | |

' Neath the brae the burnie jouks | |
And ilka thing is cheerie O | |

Flowers may bloom and verdue spring | |
But joy to me they canna bring | |
Unless wi' ye my dearie O |
