[00:00.50]
[00:12.51] As I went a'walking one evening of late
[00:18.93] Where fragrant fine flowers the field decorate,
[00:25.55] I carelessly rambled where I did not know
[00:32.08] By the fair crystal fountain that falls in Glencoe.
[00:38.31]
[00:38.56] And on her who the prize on Mount Ider was won,
[00:45.00] Then approched me a lassy as bright as the sun,
[00:51.45] And the ribbon and the tartan around her did flow,
[00:57.99] That welcomed young Donald the pride of Glencoe.
[01:16.87]
[01:17.12] Said I, my fine creature, your charming sweet smile,
[01:23.99] And your comely fine features my heart has beguiled,
[01:30.34] And with your kind affection on me you'll bestow,
[01:36.95] I 'll bless the happy hour we met in Glencoe.
[01:43.17]
[01:43.42] Kind sir, she made answer, your love I'll disdain
[01:49.83] For I have a young sweetheart and Donald by name,
[01:56.31] And he went to the wars about ten years ago,
[02:02.80] And a maid I remain 'till he return to Glencoe.
[02:34.97]
[02:35.22] Well, perhaps your young Donald regards not your name,
[02:41.66] And has placed his affection on some foreign dame,
[02:48.13] He may have forgotten for all that you know,
[02:54.64] That bonny young creature he met in Glencoe.
[03:00.98]
[03:01.23] From his promise my Donald he'd never depart
[03:07.65] For love, truth and honour stand firm in his heart,
[03:14.12] And if I never see him, then single I'll go,
[03:20.60] And mourn for my Donald the pride of Glencoe.
[03:39.91]
[03:40.16] Then seeing her constance he drew out a glove,
[03:47.21] Which in parting she gave him in token of love,
[03:53.66] She clung to his arms and the tears down did flow,
[04:00.71] Ah, you're welcomed my Donald the pride of Glencoe.
[04:06.91]
[04:07.16] Come cheer up my Flora, your sorrows are o'er,
[04:13.65] And since we have met love we'll never part more,
[04:20.12] And the loud blast of battle, far distant may blow,
[04:26.65] Whilst in peace and contentment we'll live in Glencoe.
