O'er the Hills and Far Away |
| Jocky met with Jenny fair |
| Between the dawning and the day |
| But Jocky now is full of care |
| Since Jenny stole his heart away |
| Although she promised to be true |
| She proven has, alack, unkind |
| The which does make poor Jocky rue |
| That e’er he loved a fickle mind |
| Jocky was a bonny lad |
| That e’er was born in Scotland fair |
| But now poor lad he does run mad |
| Since Jenny |
| Young Jocky was a piper’s son |
| He fell in love when he was young |
| And all the tunes that he could play |
| Was O’er the Hills and Far Away |
| And it’s o’er the hills and far away |
| It’s o’er the hills and far away |
| It’s o’er the hills and far |
| The wind has blown my plaid away |
| He sang when my first my Jenny’s face |
| I saw she seemed so full of grace |
| With mickle joy my heart was filled |
| That’s now alas with sorrow killed |
| Oh were she but as true as fair |
| 'T would put an end to my despair |
| Instead of that she is unkind |
| And waivers like the winter wind |
| And it’s o’er the hills and far away |
| It’s o’er the hills and far away |
| It’s o’er the hills and far |
| The wind has blown my plaid away |
| Hard was my hap to fall in love |
| With one that does so faithless prove |
| Hard my fate to court a maid |
| Who has my constant heart betrayed |
| Since she is false whom I adore |
| I’ll never trust a woman more |
| From all their charms I’ll flee away |
| And on my pipes I’ll sweetly play |
