Harking is bonny and there lives my love |
| [00:35.76] |
My love lies on him and cannot remove |
| [00:46.29] |
It cannot remove for all that I have done |
| [00:54.16] |
And I never will forget my love Annachie |
| [01:04.80] |
For Annachie Gordon he's bonny and he's bright |
| [01:12.40] |
He'd entice any woman that e'er he saw |
| [01:22.16] |
He'd entice any woman and so he has done me |
| [01:29.93] |
And I never will forget my love Annachie. |
| [01:40.45] |
Down came her father and he's standing at the door |
| [01:47.95] |
Saying Jeannie you are trying the tricks of a whore |
| [01:58.21] |
You care nothing for a man who cares so much for thee |
| [02:05.49] |
You must marry Lord Sultan and leave Annachie |
| [02:15.95] |
For Annachie Gordon is barely but a man |
| [02:23.17] |
Although he may be pretty but where are his lands |
| [02:32.81] |
For the Sultan's lands are broad and his towers they run high |
| [02:40.81] |
You must marry Lord Sultan and leave Annachie. |
| [02:51.26] |
|
| [02:52.00] |
With Annachie Gordon I beg for my bread |
| [02:59.66] |
Before I marry Sultan his gold to my head |
| [03:10.14] |
With gold to my head and straight down to my knee |
| [03:17.71] |
I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie |
| [03:28.24] |
And you who are my parents to church you may me bring |
| [03:35.19] |
But onto Lord Sultan I'll never bear a son |
| [03:44.89] |
To a son or a daughter I'll never bow my knee |
| [03:52.83] |
And I'll die if I don't get my love Annachie. |
| [04:02.86] |
|
| [04:04.14] |
Jeannie was married and from church was brought home |
| [04:12.05] |
When she and her maidens so merry should have been |
| [04:22.23] |
When she and her maidens so merry should have been |
| [04:29.49] |
She goes into her chamber and cries all alone. |
| [04:39.79] |
|
| [04:41.45] |
Come to bed my Jeannie my honey and my sweet |
| [04:49.59] |
To stile you my mistress it would be so sweet |
| [04:59.85] |
Be it mistress or Jeannie it's all the same to me |
| [05:06.87] |
But in your bed Lord Sultan I never will lie |
| [05:17.43] |
And down came her father and he's spoken with reknown |
| [05:24.53] |
Saying you who are her maidens |
| [05:28.88] |
Go loosen up her gowns |
| [05:32.13] |
And she fell down to the floor |
| [05:35.86] |
And straight down to his knee saying |
| [05:41.55] |
Father look I'm dying for my love Annachie. |
| [05:51.06] |
|
| [06:14.67] |
The day that she married was the day that Jeannie died |
| [06:22.41] |
And the day that young Annachie came home on the tide |
| [06:33.02] |
And down came her maidens all wringing of their hands |
| [06:40.24] |
Saying oh it's been so long? You've been so long on the sands |
| [06:50.34] |
So long on the sands so long on the flood |
| [06:58.02] |
They have married your Jeannie and now she lies dead. |
| [07:09.22] |
|
| [07:10.86] |
You who are her maidens come take me by the hand |
| [07:18.65] |
And lead me to the chamber where my love she lies in |
| [07:28.78] |
And he kissed her cold lips till his heart it turned to stone |
| [07:36.36] |
And he died in the chamber that his love she lies in. |
| [07:48.83] |
|
| [08:01.34] |
|
| [08:15.97] |
END |
