Child Part III pA
-
-
O wha will shoe my fu' fair footB
And wha will glove my handC
And wha will lace my middle jimpA
Wi' the new made London bandC
-
And wha will kaim my yellow hairD
Wi' the new made silver kaimE
And wha will father my young sonF
Till Love Gregor come hameE
-
Your father will shoe your fu' fair footB
Your mother will glove your handC
Your sister will lace your middle jimpA
Wi' the new made London bandC
-
Your brother will kaim your yellow hairD
Wi' the new made silver kaimE
And the king of heaven will father your bairnF
Till Love Gregor come haimE
-
But I will get a bonny boatG
And I will sail the seaA
For I maun gang to Love GregorH
Since he canno come hame to meA
-
O she has gotten a bonny boatG
And sailld the sa't sea fameE
She langd to see her ain true loveI
Since he could no come hameE
-
O row your boat my marinersJ
And bring me to the landC
For yonder I see my love's castleK
Close by the sa't sea strandC
-
She has ta'en her young son in her armsL
And to the door she's goneF
And lang she's knocked and sair she ca'dC
But answer got she noneF
-
O open the door Love Gregor she saysM
O open and let me inF
For the wind blaws thro' my yellow hairD
And the rain draps o'er my chinF
-
Awa awa ye ill womanF
You'r nae come here for goodC
You'r but some witch or wile warlockN
Or mer maid of the floodC
-
I am neither a witch nor a wile warlockN
Nor mer maid of the seaA
I am Fair Annie of Rough RoyalK
O open the door to meA
-
Gin ye be Annie of Rough RoyalK
And I trust ye are not sheA
Now tell me some of the love tokensO
That past between you and meA
-
O dinna you mind now Love GregorH
When we sat at the wineF
How we changed the rings frae our fingersJ
And I can show thee thineF
-
O yours was good and good enoughP
But ay the best was mineF
For yours was o' the good red goudC
But mine o' the diamonds fineF
-
But open the door now Love GregorH
O open the door I prayQ
For your young son that is in my armsL
Will be dead ere it be dayQ
-
Awa awa ye ill womanF
For here ye shanno win inF
Gae drown ye in the raging seaA
Or hang on the gallows pinF
-
When the cock had crawn and day did dawnF
And the sun began to peepA
Then up he rose him Love GregorH
And sair sair did he weepA
-
O I dreamd a dream my mother dearR
The thoughts o' it gars me greetC
That Fair Annie of Rough RoyalK
Lay cauld dead at my feetC
-
Gin it be for Annie of Rough RoyalK
That ye make a' this dinF
She stood a' last night at this doorS
But I trow she wan no inF
-
O wae betide ye ill womanF
An ill dead may ye dieC
That ye woudno open the door to herH
Nor yet woud waken meA
-
O he has gone down to yon shore sideC
As fast as he could fareD
He saw Fair Annie in her boatC
But the wind it tossd her sairD
-
And Hey Annie and How AnnieA
O Annie winna ye bideC
But ay the mair that he cried AnnieA
The braider grew the tideC
-
And Hey Annie and How AnnieA
Dear Annie speak to meA
But ay the louder he cried AnnieA
The louder roard the seaA
-
The wind blew loud the sea grew roughP
And dashd the boat on shoreD
Fair Annie floats on the raging seaA
But her young son rose no moreD
-
Love Gregor tare his yellow hairD
And made a heavy moanF
Fair Annie's corpse lay at his feetC
But his bonny young son was goneF
-
O cherry cherry was her cheekN
And gowden was her hairD
But clay cold were her rosey lipsT
Nae spark of life was thereD
-
And first he's kissd her cherry cheekN
And neist he's kissed her chinF
And saftly pressd her rosey lipsT
But there was nae breath withinF
-
O wae betide my cruel motherD
And an ill dead may she dieC
For she turnd my true love frae my doorD
When she came sae far to meA
