Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Traditional
[00:24.94] I may sit in my wee old house
[00:30.67] At the spinning wheel to toil so dreary
[00:38.67] I may think of a day that is gone
[00:44.20] And sigh and some till I grow weary
[00:51.20] I ne'er could brook I ne'er could brook
[00:57.93] A foreign king to own or flatter
[01:04.18] And I will sing a ranting song
[01:10.69] The day our king comes o'er the water
[01:30.18] I have seen the good old day
[01:35.92] The day of pride and chieftain's glory
[01:42.70] When royal Stuart held the sway
[01:49.68] And none heard tell of Whig or Tory
[01:57.44] Though silver be my hair one day
[02:02.94] And age has struck me down what matter
[02:09.20] I'll dance and sing the happy day
[02:15.20] The day our king comes o'er the water
[02:35.68] If I live to see the day
[02:40.94] That i have begged and begged from Heaven
[02:47.94] I'll fling my rock and reel away
[02:54.94] And dance and sing from morn‘ till evening
[03:02.64] For there is one I will not name
[03:08.74] Who comes the be-engine bike to scatter
[03:14.50] And I'll put on my bridal gown
[03:20.98] The day our king comes o'er the water
[03:31.74] A curse on dull and drawling Whig
[03:37.49] The whining ranting low deceiver
[03:44.25] With heart so black and lies so big
[03:50.75] The canting tongue of clish mclaver
[03:58.50] My father was a good lord's son
[04:04.48] My mother was an earl's daughter
[04:11.01] And I'll be Lady Keith again
[04:17.01] The day our king comes o'er the water
