Lass of Glenshee |
| One bright summer morning as day was a dawning |
| Bright Phoebus had risen shone over the lea |
| I spied a fair maiden all down by the river |
| While herding her flocks on the hills of Glenshee |
| I stood in amazement, said I, «Pretty fair maid |
| If you will come down to James Town with me |
| There’s ne’er been a lady set foot in my castle |
| There’s ne’er been a lady dressed grander than thee» |
| «A coach and six horses to go at your bidding |
| And all men that speak shall say „ma'am unto thee“ |
| Fine servants to serve you and go at your bidding |
| I’ll make you my bride, my sweet lass of Glenshee» |
| «Oh what do I care for your castles and coaches? |
| And what do I care for your gay grandeury? |
| I’d rather be home at my cot, at my spinning |
| Or herding my flocks on the hills of Glenshee» |
| «Away with such nonsense and get up beside me |
| When summer has come my sweet bride you will be |
| And then in my arms I will gently caress thee» |
| 'Twas then she consented, I took her with me |
| Many years have rolled on since we were united |
| There’s many’s a change, but there’s no change on me |
| And my love, she’s as fair as that morn on the mountain |
| I plucked me a wild rose |
