[ti:Highland widow's lament] |
|
[ar:Ian Campbell Folk Group] |
|
[al:Border lands] |
| [00:00.00] |
Oh, I here come to the low countrie |
| [00:04.28] |
Och-on, och-on, och-rie! |
| [00:10.14] |
Without a penny in my purse |
| [00:14.02] |
Tae buy a meal tae me |
| [00:17.55] |
|
| [00:40.31] |
It was na sae in the Highland hills |
| [00:45.53] |
Och-on, och-on, och-rie! |
| [00:50.69] |
Nae woman in this country wide |
| [00:55.39] |
Sae happy was as we |
| [01:02.45] |
For then I had a score o' kye |
| [01:07.35] |
Och-on, och-on, och-rie! |
| [01:12.83] |
Feeding on yon hills so high |
| [01:17.35] |
And giving milk to me |
| [01:24.67] |
And there I had threescore o' yowes |
| [01:29.07] |
Och-on, och-on, och-rie! |
| [01:34.62] |
Skipping on yon bonnie knowes |
| [01:39.09] |
And casting woo' to me |
| [01:46.32] |
I was the happiest of a' the clan |
| [01:51.57] |
Sair, sair, may I repine |
| [01:56.50] |
For Donald was the brawest man |
| [02:01.19] |
And Donald he was mine |
| [02:08.49] |
Till Charlie he cam' o'er at last |
| [02:13.23] |
Sae far to set us free |
| [02:18.10] |
My Donald's arm it wanted was |
| [02:23.01] |
For Scotland and for me |
| [02:30.18] |
Their waeful' fate what need I tell? |
| [02:34.92] |
Right to the wrang did yield |
| [02:40.21] |
My Donald and his country fell |
| [02:45.07] |
Upon Culloden-field |
| [02:51.95] |
Och-on, Och-on, O Donald O! |
| [02:56.83] |
Och-on, och-on, och-rie! |
| [03:01.87] |
Nae woman in this whole world wide |
| [03:06.56] |
Sae wretched now as me |
