I gave to you a hen,
You gave it back again,
Without it's eggs, My Annie.
I gave to you a hare,
You really didn't care,
Now it has no legs, My Annie.

Oh Annie let me in,
I will fly, I will swim,
I will die if you don't come near me,
Oh no, don't you say so,
You are my dear, My Annie

Oh Annie let me in,
I will fly, I will swim,
I will die if you don't come near me,
Oh no, don't you say so,
You are my dear, My Annie

I gave to you a dog,
You threw for it a log,
Now it won't come back, My Annie.
I gave to you a pig,
It wasn't very big,
Now the meats all black, My Annie.

Oh Annie let me in,
I will fly, I will swim,
I will die if you don't come near me,
Oh no, don't you say so,
You are my dear, My Annie

I gave to you a cow,
You really don't know how,
It flew away, My Annie.
I gave to you a horse,
A silly fool of course,
For you rode away, My...

Annie let me in,
I will fly, I will swim,
I will die if you don't come...
Annie let me in,
I will fly, I will swim,
I will die if you don't come near me,
Oh no, don't you say so,
You are my dear, My...
Annie let me in,
I will fly, I will swim,
I will die if you don't come near me,
Oh no, don't you say so,
You are my dear, My Annie

I gave to you my heart,
You tore it all apart,
When you rode away,
My Annie

There was a boy, a bitter boy,
Whose golden heart I saw gleaming.
I thought I'd win the heart within,
But now I know that I was dreaming.

But I will rise, and I will sing,
Until I know I can't conceal it.
Because I hold the saddest song,
I wish to God I cannot feel it.

And then the boy, the bitter boy,
He came to me for rest and healing.
He reached in his chest, deep in his breast,
Held out the heart for me stil gleaming.

But I will rise, and I will sing,
Until I know I can't conceal it.
Because I hold the saddest song,
I wish to God I cannot feel it.

And then the boy, me and the boy,
We walked for miles through stormy weather.
And hand in hand, we roamed the land,
And held the gleaming heart together.

But I will rise, and I will sing,
Until I know I can't conceal it.
Because I hold the saddest song,
I wish to God I cannot feel it.

Then the boy, the bitter boy,
He came to take the gleaming treasure.
He reached in my chest, deep in my breast,
And took the gleaming heart forever.

But I will rise, and I will sing,
Until the day I can't conceal it.
And then I'll sing the saddest song,
And wish to God you cannot hear it.

Oh, then I'll sing the saddest song,
I wish to God you cannot hear it.

There was a lady fine and gay,
She looked so neat and trim,
She went into her own garden-wall,
To see her ships come in.

And there she spies her daughter Jane,
Who looked so pale and wan:
'Oh, have you had some long sickness,
Or lain ye with some young man?'

'No, I have had no long sickness,
Nor lain here with a man:'
Her petticoats they were so short,
She was a nine months gone

She was a nine months gone
'Oh is it by some nobleman?
Or by some man of fame?
Or is it by John Barbary,
Who lately come from Spain?'

'No, it is by a nobleman,
Nor by no man of fame;
But it is by John Barbary,
Who lately come from Spain.'

And she's calld down her merry men,
By one, by two, by three;
John Barbary was once the first,
But now the last came he.

'Oh will you take my daughter Jane,
And wed her out of hand?
And you will dine and sup with me,
And be heir to all my land.'

'Oh, I will take your daughter Jane,
And wed her out of hand;
And I will dine and sup with you,
But I do not want your land.'

For I have houses and I have land
And money out by the grand
And had it not been for your daughter
I'd never be your man, I'd never be your man

High on a hill there's a sweet bird calling,
All come together, are you in or are you out?
He sings of a time when the sky was falling,
All come together and be in no doubt.

Oh darling, let's go over,
Now the devil's here.
Oh darling, let's go over,
Now the devil's here.
And oh darling, oh my darling,
Be strong and be proud.
Oh darling, then you'll see
The devil will go round.
Round, round.

High on a hill and way up yonder,
All come together, are you in or are you out?
Eleventh day was hell, but the heart grows stronger.
All come together and be in no doubt.

Oh darling, let's go over,
Now the devil's here.
Oh darling, let's go over,
Now the devil's here.
And oh darling, oh my darling,
Be strong and be proud.
Oh darling, then you'll see
The devil will go round.
Round, (round), round.

Over the fields where the water's falling,
All come together, are you in or are you out?
There's a bird on a hill and he's sweetly calling,
All come together and be in no doubt.

Oh darling, let's go over,
Now the devil's here.
Oh darling, let's go over,
Now the devil's here.
And oh darling, oh my darling,
Be strong and be proud.
Oh darling, then you'll see
The devil will go round.
Round, round.

High on a hill there's a sweet bird calling,
All come together, are you in or are you out?

All come together and be in no doubt.

Oh darling, let's go over,
Now the devil's here.
Oh darling, (ooh), let's go over,
Now the devil's here.
Oh darling, (ooh), let's go over,
Now the devil's here.
Oh darling, let's go over,
Now the devil's here.

And oh darling, oh my darling,
Be strong and be proud.
Oh darling, then you'll see
The devil will go round.

And oh darling, oh my darling,
Be strong and be proud.
Oh darling, then you'll see
The devil will go round.
Round, round.

One dark and stormy winters night
The snow lay on the ground
The sailor boy strode on the wharf
And the ship was eastward bound

His sweetheart standing by his side
Shed many a bitter tear
And as he pressed her to his breast
He whispered in her ear

Was any fail the ship set sail
His love was standing by
She watched the vessel out of sight
And the tears bedimmed her eye

She prayed to him and heaven above
To guide him on his way
And all the parting words that night
Still echoed loud round the bay

Farewell Farewell my own true love
May this grief for me till sore
And you will be my guiding light
Till I return once more

My thoughts will be with you my love
When the storm is raging high
So farewell, farewell, remember me
Thy faithful sailor boy, thy faithful sailor boy

So farewell farewell my own true love
On earth we live no longer
Patiently tell heaven above
I'll be back to tell you sure

I hope to meet you in the land
From far beyond the sky
Where you know what the parts are from
Thy faithful sailor boy

This grief it makes me sore
And you will be my guiding light
Till I return once more
My thoughts will be with you my love
When the storm is raging high

So farewell, farewell, remember me
My faithful sailor boy, my faithful sailor boy

My faithful sailor boy

I can see,
The planets are aligning for me,
But I cannot read them,
For the future's gone,
And all behind me.

Chorus:
Through this world,
I am wandering, wandering,
A soft breeze blowing,
I am wandering now,
Through this world,
I am wandering, wandering,
These are the days I live now.

You said, turn around
So I cannot see your tears falling,
You don't make me proud,
Now I see there is
A new day dawning.

Chorus.

On nights like these,
I could fly up to the sky above me,
Like superman,
I would change the course
Of earth below me.

Chorus.

But I can see,
The planets are aligning for me,
And I dare not breathe for then
The clouds will come and then deny me.

Chorus x2

There was an old man who lived in a wood
As you can plainly see
He said he could do as much work in a day
As his wife could do in three

With all my heart the woman she said
If that's what you will allow
Tomorrow you'll stay at home in my stead
And I go drive the plough

But you must milk our Tidy the cow
For fear she will go dry
You must feed the littlest pigs
That are within the sty
And you must mind the speckled hen
For fear she'll lay away
And then you must reel the spool of yarn
That I spun yesterday

The woman she took up her staff in her hand
And she went to drive the plough
The old man took up a pale in his hand
And he went to milk the cow
But Tidy hinched and Tidy flinched
And Tidy broke his nose
And Tidy she gave to him such a big blow
The poor man took to his toes

Hi Tidy home Tidy
Tidy thou stand still
If ever I'm ill be tidy again,
Be sore against my will
He went to feed the little pigs
That were within the sty
He hit his big head upon a thick beam
And he made his red blood fly

He went to find the speckledy hen
For fear she'd lay astray
Forgot to reel the spool of yarn
His wife spun yesterday
He swore by the sun, the moon, the stars,
The green leaves on the tree
If his wife didn't do a days work in her life
She won't be ruled by he

There was an old man who lived in a wood
As you can plainly see
He said he could do as much work in a day
As his wife could do in three

With all my heart the woman she said
If that's what you will allow
Tomorrow you'll stay at home in my stead
And I go drive the plough

At Fyvie's gate there grows a flower
It grows both broad and bonnie
A daisy in the midst of it
Its name is Andrew Lammie

O gin that flower were my breast
For the love I bear the laddie
So blithe and merry I would be
And kiss my Andrew Lammie

Love I must go to Edinburgh
Love I must go and leave thee
She sighed full sore and said no more
But o gin I were with thee

I'll buy my love a wedding gown
My love I'll buy it bonnie
But I'll be gone ere you come back
How I love thee Andrew Lammie

Love pines away, love dwines away
And love decayed my body
And love crept in at my bedfoot
And he took possesion of me

Her brother beat her wondrous sore
Til the strokes they were not canny
And he broke her back on yon hall door
For loving Andrewa Lammie

O mother go and make my bed
And lay my head to Fyvie
For its there I'll lie and there I'll die
For loving Andrew Lammie

Syne he's come back from Edinburgh
To the bonnie house of Fyvie
He's turned his face to the northeast
To look for Tifty's Annie

Oh East and West where'er I go
My love she's always with me
Oh East and West where'er I go
My love she dwells in Fyvie

Oh it's many is the time I've walked at night
And never was I weary
But now it's I must walk alone
For I will not see my deary

O the Streams Of rovin' Nancy divide in three parts
Where the young men and maidens they meet their sweetheats
Its the drinking of good liquor that make my heart sing
And the noise in the bardy make the rocks fall to you

At the top of this mountain my loves castle stands
And its overbuilt with ivy and under black sand
Five arches five porches like diamonds so bright
Its a beacon for a sailor on a dark winters night

On yonder high mountain the wild fowl do fly
And its swanning and grows them that files very high
If I have them in my hands mere diamonds far grand
And soon I would secure her by the slight of my hand

At the base of this mountain a river runs clear
And a ship from the Indies it warrants a cover
With a red flags a flying the beating of her drum
Sweet instruments of music and the firin' of her bow

O the streams of rovin'Nancy divide in three parts
Where the young men and maidens they meet their sweetheats
Its the drinking of good liquor that makes my heart sing
And the noise in her body make the rocks fall to you

Daughter of heaven Oh, daughter of now
Drifting away and don't make a sound
We'll cry when we hear that you ran from this town
She's gone to a new place now
She's gone to a new place now

Daughter of heaven Oh, daughter of now
The stars are your jewels the rubies your crown
We are standing off for your right to stand
She's gone to a new place now
She's gone to a new place now

Daughter of heaven Oh, daughter of now
Your eyes they were closed and your hands they were bound
There's a time in the past when I had to come down
She's gone to a new place now
She's gone to a new place now

Daughter of heaven Oh, daughter of now
Drifting away and don't make a sound
We'll cry when we hear that you ran from this town
She's gone to a new place now
She's gone to a new place now

She's gone to a new place now

Oh the Summer time is coming,
And the trees are sweetly blooming,
And the wild mountain thyme,
Grows around the blooming heather,
Will ye go lassie go.

Chorus:
And we'll all go together,
To pull wild mountain thyme,
All around the blooming heather,
Will ye go lassie go.

I will build my love a bower,
By yon pure crystal fountain,
And on it I will pile,
All the flowers of the mountain,
Will ye go lassie go.

Chorus

If my true love she won't come,
I will surely find another,
To pull wild mountain thyme,
All around the blooming heather,
Will ye go lassie go.
