Neil Gow's Apprentice |
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it’s over |
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it’s done |
I’ll sit beneath the fiddle tree |
With the ghost of Neil Gow next to me |
Listen, Neil, your apprentice has begun |
An old man looks in his inglenook and he wonders |
His brother in a foreign land he must remain |
Deived about the life he’d choose |
They each would wear the other one’s shoes |
This motherland is a sourc of constant pain |
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it’s ovr |
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it’s done |
I’ll sit beneath the fiddle tree |
With the ghost of Neil Gow next to me |
Listen, Neil, your apprentice has begun |
All my life I have lived within these borders |
While he has gone to retrieve the setting sun |
In the pitch-black Highland night |
He’s toiling in the sunshine bright |
Do the time while summer passes by |
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it’s over |
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it’s done |
I’ll sit beneath the fiddle tree |
With the ghost of Neil Gow next to me |
Listen, Neil, your apprentice has begun |
Rumbling Brig, I heard your voices calling |
In the outback, still I hear your song |
Feeding from this foreign field |
With far more fish than the burn could yield |
This trip will be my last and it won’t be long |
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it’s over |
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it’s done |
I’ll sit beneath the fiddle tree |
With the ghost of Neil Gow next to me |
Listen, Neil, your apprentice has begun |
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it’s over |
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it’s done |
I’ll sit beneath the fiddle tree |
With the ghost of Neil Gow next to me |
Listen, Neil, your apprentice has begun |
