[al:]
[00:07.14] One morn in May when fields were gay,
[00:09.52] Serene and pleasant was the weather,
[00:12.77] I spied a lass and a very bonny lass,
[00:15.03] She was sweeping the dew from among the heather
[00:17.66] Down the moor.
[00:19.33] And among the heather,
[00:21.83] O'er the moor, through the heather
[00:23.84] I spied a lass and a very bonny lass
[00:25.91] She was sweeping the dew from among the heather
[00:28.52] Down the moor.
[00:30.95] Bare footed was she, she was comely dressed
[00:33.24] And her head bore neither hat nor feather,
[00:36.56] She'd a plaid wrapped neatly round her waist
[00:39.09] As she tripped through the blooming heather
[00:41.56] Down the moor.
[00:43.23] And among the heather,
[00:44.45] O'er the moor, through the heather
[00:47.98] She'd ha plaid wrapped neatly round her waist
[00:50.10] As she tripped through the blooming heather
[00:52.48] Down the moor.
[01:07.05] I stepped up to this fair young maid,
[01:09.42] “Tell your name, come tell me hither.”
[01:12.65] She answered me, “Down by the bonny burn side
[01:15.08] I am herding all my ewes together
[01:17.45] Down the moor.”
[01:19.16] And among the heather,
[01:20.59] O'er the moor, through the heather
[01:23.61] She answered me, “Down by the bonny burn side
[01:26.12] I am herding all my ewes together
[01:28.50] Down the moor.”
[01:43.11] I courted her that live-long day,
[01:45.64] My heart as light as any feather,
[01:48.72] Until the beams of the red-setting sun
[01:51.11] Come a-shining down in among the heather
[01:53.38] Down the moor.
[01:55.09] And among the heather,
[01:56.32] O'er the moor, through the heather
[01:59.64] Until the beams of the red-setting sun
[02:01.87] Come a-shining down in among the heather
[02:04.44] Down the moor.
[02:07.03] she said “Young man, I must away,
[02:08.50] My ewes are straying from each other.
[02:12.68] But I'm as loath for to part with you
[02:15.10] As the bonnie wee lambs to part their mother
[02:17.73] Down the moor.
[02:19.37] And among the heather,
[02:20.69] O'er the moor, through the heather
[02:23.91] But I'm as loath for to part with you
[02:26.25] As the bonnie wee lambs to part their mother
[02:28.66] Down the moor”
[02:31.03] So up she got and away she went,
[02:33.39] And her name and place I cannot gather.
[02:36.47] But if I was a king I would make her a queen,
[02:39.26] The bonnie lass I met in among the heather
[02:41.53] Down the moor.
