■The Water Is Wide
01)She Moved thrugh The Fair
My young love said to me
"My mother won't mind.
And me father won't slight you for your lack of kind."
Then she stepped away from me and this she did say
"It will not be long love,'till our wedding day."
She stepped away from me,
and she moved through the fair.
And fondly I watched her
move here and move there.
And she went her way homeward
with one star awake
As the swan in the evening,
moves over the lake.
People were saying ,No two e’er were wed
But one has a sorrow that never was said
and she smiled as she passed me
with her goods and her gear
and that was the last that I saw of my dear
I dreamed it last night
that my true love came in,
so softly she entered
her feet made no din
she came close beside me and this she did say
"It will not be long love,'till our wedding day."
02)Black is the Colour
Black is the colorof my true love's hair
her lips are like some roses fair
she's the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
and I love the ground where on she stands
I love my loveand well she knows
I love the ground where on she goes
I wish the day It soon would come
When she and I
Could be as one
03)My Love Is Red Red Rose
O my Luve’s like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June:
O my Luve’s like the melodie
That’s sweetly play’d in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry:
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only Luve
And fare thee weel, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.
04)Scarborough Fair
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Remember me to one who lives there,
He once was a true love of mine..
Tell him to make me a cambric shirt,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Without no seam nor needlework,
Then he’ll be a true love of mine..
Tell him to find me an acre of land,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Between salt water and the sea strands
Then he’ll be a true love of mine..
Tell him to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
and gather it all in a bunch of heather
Then he’ll be a true love of mine..
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
Remember me to one who lives there,
He once was a true love of mine..
05)The water is wide
The water is wide, I cannot get o'er,
And neither have I wings to fly.
Give me a boat that can carry two,
And both shall row, my love and I.
A-down in the meadows the other day,
A-gath'ring flowers both fine and gay,
A-gath'ring flowers both red and blue,
I little thought what love can do.
I leaned my back up against some oak
Thinking that he was a trusty tree;
But first he bended, and then he broke,
And so did my false love to me.
A ship there is, and she sails the sea,
She's loaded deep as deep can be,
But not so deep as the love I'm in;
I know not if I sink or swim.
O, love is handsome and love is fine,
And love's a jewel when it is new,
But when it is old, it groweth cold,
And fades away like morning dew.
06)I will give my love an apple
I will give my love an apple without e'er a core,
I will give my love a house without e'er a door,
I will give my love a palace wherein she may be,
And she may unlock it without any key.
My head is the apple without e'er a core,
My mind is the house without e'er a door.
My heart is the palace wherein she may be,
And she may unlock it without any key.
07)Ye Banks And Braes
Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
How can ye chant ye little birds
And I’m sae weary fu’o’ care?
Ye'll break my heart ye warbling bird,
That wantons through the flow’ing thorn
Ye mind me o' departed joys
Departed never to return
Oft ha’e I roved by bonnie Doon
To see the rose and woodbine twine
And ilka bird sang o' its luve
And fondly sae did I o' mine
Wi' lightsome heart i pu’da rose
Fu’sweet upon its thorny tree
And my false luver stole my rose
But ah he left the thorn wi' me
08)Greensleeves
Alas, my love, you do me wrong,
To cast me off discourteously!
For I have loved you for so long,
Delighting in your company.
Greensleeves was all my joy,
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves?
Your vows you've broken like my heart.
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart,
But my heart remains in captivity.
Greensleeves was all my joy,
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves?
09)Annie Laurie
Maxwelton's braes are bonnie,
Where early fa's the dew,
And it's there that Annie Laurie
Gave me her promise true.
Gave me her promise true,
Which ne'er forgot will be,
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me doon and dee.
Her brow is like the snowdrift,
Her neck is like the swan,
Her face it is the fairest,
That 'er the sun shone on.
That 'er the sun shone on.
And dark blue is her e'e,
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me doon and dee.
10)My Lagan Love
Where Lagan stream sings lullaby
There blows a lily fair
The twilight gleam is in her eye
The night is on her hair
And like a love-sick lennan-shee
She has my heart in thrall
Nor life I owe nor liberty
For love is lord of all.
And often when the beetle's horn
Hath lulled the eve to sleep
I steal unto her shieling lorn
And thru the dooring peep.
There on the cricket's singing stone,
She spares the bogwood fire,
And hums in sad sweet undertone
The songs of heart's desire
11)In A Garden So Green
In a garden so green in May morening
heard I my lady pleen* of paramours. *complain
Said she, my love so sweet, come you not yet nor yet?
Heght* you not me to meet amongst the flowrs? *pledge
Elore, elore, I love my lusty love, elore lo.
The skies upspringis, the dew down dingis,
the sweet larks singis their hours of prime.
Phoebus upsprentius, joy to rest wentis
lost mine intent is and gone's the time,
Elore, elore, I love my lusty love, elore lo.
Danger my dead is, false fortune my feid* is, *enemy
langour* my leed** is, but hope I despair. *dreariness, **song
Disdaine my desyris, so strangeness my feir is,
deceit out of weir is, adew I fare.
Elore, elore, I love my lusty love, elore lo.
Live in hope, lady faire and repell all dispaire.
Trust not that your true love shall you betrase*. *betray
When deceit and languor banished is from your bowre*. *refuge
I'll be your paramour and shall you please
Elore, elore, I love my lusty love, elore lo.
12)The ash grove
The ash grove, how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking,
The harp through it playing has language for me;
Whenever the light through its branches is breaking,
A host of kind faces is gazing on me.
The friends of my childhood again are before me,
Each step wakes a mem'ry, as freely I roam;
With soft whispers laden, its leaves rustle o'er me;
The ash grove, the ashgrove alone is my home.
13)DANNY BOY
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,
If I am dead, as dead I well may be,
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying,
And kneel and say an Avè there for me.
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!
14)BLOW THE WIND SOUTHERLY
Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly,
Blow the wind south for the bonny blue sea.
Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly,
Blow, bonny breeze, my lover to me.
They told me last night there were ships in the offing,
And I hurried down to the deep rolling sea.
But my eye could not see it, wherever might be it,
The barque that is bearing my lover to me.
Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly,
Blow,bonny breeze, o'er the bonny blue sea.
Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly,
Blow, bonny breeze, and bring him to me.
Is it not sweet to hear the breeze singing,
As lightly it calms o'er the deep rolling sea?
But sweeter and dearer by far when 'tis bringing
The barque of my true love in safely to me!
Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly,
Blow the wind south for the bonny blue sea.
Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly,
Blow, bonny breeze, my lover to me.
15)Down by the salley gardens
Down by the salley gardens
My love and I did meet;
She passed the salley gardens
With little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy,
As the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish
with her did not agree.
In a field by the river
My love and I did stand
And on my leaning shoulder
She laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy,
As the grass grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish
And now am full of tears.
