| [00:25.72] |
oh rise up my darling and come with me |
| [00:30.13] |
i want to go with you and leave this country |
| [00:35.44] |
to leave my fathers dwelling . his house and the land |
| [00:39.98] |
so away goes Jamie with his love in his arms |
| [00:44.99] |
they go over hills and the mountains and glens |
| [00:49.81] |
traveling all through the nifht in the mist in the rain |
| [00:54.64] |
But her father has followed and hs taken his men |
| [00:59.46] |
and he captured poor jamie with his love in his arms |
| [01:13.90] |
now home she was taken to her room she is bound |
| [01:18.94] |
while poor jamie lies on the cold stoney groud |
| [01:23.90] |
and he knows all the while beforethe judge he will stand |
| [01:28.37] |
for the stealing of nothing but his own true loves hand |
| [01:33.58] |
in the cold hard iron his hands they are bound |
| [01:37.86] |
handcuffed like a murderer and tied to the ground |
| [01:43.55] |
and the goler tells jamie last night i did hear |
| [01:48.43] |
that you lady will hang you or else set you clear |
| [02:14.40] |
The judge says "this young girl being tender in youth |
| [02:18.70] |
If Jamie is guilty she will tell the truth" |
| [02:23.26] |
Then the radiant beauty before him did stand |
| [02:27.79] |
"Oh I'm happy to see you my bold Irish lad" |
| [02:33.20] |
But the father cries out "Lord have pity on me |
| [02:38.02] |
For the man came to bring disgrace to my family |
| [02:42.94] |
And he stole my only daughter, all part of his plan |
| [02:48.19] |
And if you don't hang him I will quit the land" |
| [03:12.98] |
But the daughter is crying and begging is she |
| [03:17.83] |
"The fault isn't Jamie's the blame lies with me |
| [03:22.50] |
I forced him to leave and run away with me |
| [03:27.56] |
And I'll die if I can't save my bold Jamie" |
| [03:32.34] |
"Good Lord he has stole all her jewels and her rings |
| [03:37.26] |
Gold watches and amber, all my precious things |
| [03:42.26] |
And it costs me a fortune in thousands of pounds |
| [03:47.20] |
And I'll take the life of Jamie before I lie in the ground |
| [03:52.11] |
"Good Lord I gave them as a token of love |
| [03:57.03] |
An when we are parted I'll have them removed |
| [04:02.01] |
But a true lovers token wear on your right hand |
| [04:06.75] |
And think of me darling when you're in a foreign land" |
