Anachie Gordon |
Harking is bonnie |
And there lives my love |
My heart lies on him |
And will not remove |
It will not remove |
Oh for all that I have done |
Oh I never will forget my love Anachie |
For Anachie Gordon |
He’s bonnie and he’s rough |
He’d entice any woman that ever he saw |
He’d entice any woman and so he has done me |
Oh I never will forget my love Anachie |
Down came her father and he’s standing by the door |
Saying, Jeannie you’re trying the tricks of a whore |
You care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee |
You must marry Lord Sultan and leave Anachie |
For Anachie Gorden, he’s barely but a man |
Although he may be pretty but where are his lands? |
Oh the Sultan’s lands are broad and his towers they run high |
You must marry Lord Sultan and leave anachie |
With Anachie Gordon I’d beg for my bread |
And before I’ll marry Sultan it’s gold to my head |
With gold to my head and gowns fringed to the knee |
And I’ll die if I don’t get me love Anachie |
And you that are my parents to church you may me bring |
But unto Lord Sulton I’ll never bear a son |
To a son or a daughter, I’ll never bow my knee |
And I’ll die if I don’t get me love Anachie |
Jeannie was married and from church she was brought home |
And when she and her maidens so merry should have been |
When she and her maidens so merry should have been |
She went into her chambers she cried all alone |
Come to bed now Jeannie, me honey and me sweet |
For to style you my mistress it would be so sweet |
Be it mistress or Jeannie it’s all the same to me |
But in your bed Lord Sultan I never will lie |
And down came her father and he’s spoken with reknown |
Saying, you that are her maidens go loosen off her gowns |
But she fell down to the floor so close down by his knee |
Saying, father look I’m dying for me love Anachie |
The day that Jeannie married was the day that jeannie died |
And the day that young Anachie came home on the tide |
And down came her maidens all wringing of their hands |
Saying oh it’s been so long you’ve spent so long on the sands |
Oh so long on the sands, so long on the flood |
They have married your Jeannie and now she lies dead |
You that are her maidens go take me by the hand |
And take me to the chamber that me love she lies in |
And he’s kissed her cold lips till his heart has turned to stone |
And he’s died in the chamber that his love she lies in |
