Lyrics

[00:08.85] One bright summer morning as day was a dawning
[00:13.83] Bright Phoebus had risen shone over the lea
[00:19.52] I spied a fair maiden all down by the river
[00:24.32] While herding her flocks on the hills of Glenshee
[00:32.27]
[00:32.52] I stood in amazement, said I, "Pretty fair maid
[00:37.60] If you will come down to James Town with me
[00:43.31] There's ne'er been a lady set foot in my castle
[00:48.10] There's ne'er been a lady dressed grander than thee"
[00:56.02]
[00:56.27] "A coach and six horses to go at your bidding
[01:01.08] And all men that speak shall say "ma'am unto thee"
[01:05.83] Fine servants to serve you and go at your bidding
[01:10.50] I'll make you my bride, my sweet lass of Glenshee"
[01:32.77]
[01:33.02] "Oh what do I care for your castles and coaches?
[01:38.06] And what do I care for your gay grandeury?
[01:42.44] I'd rather be home at my cot, at my spinning
[01:47.22] Or herding my flocks on the hills of Glenshee"
[01:52.84]
[01:53.09] "Away with such nonsense and get up beside me
[01:57.96] When summer has come my sweet bride you will be
[02:02.63] And then in my arms I will gently caress thee"
[02:07.41] 'Twas then she consented, I took her with me
[02:29.22]
[02:47.31]
[02:47.56] Many years have rolled on since we were united
[02:52.33] There's many's a change, but there's no change on me
[02:58.08] And my love, she's as fair as that morn on the mountain
[03:03.12] I plucked me a wild rose (on the hills of Glenshee)
