Wi' My Dog And Gun |
| Wi' my dog and gun, through the bloomin' heather |
| For game and pleasure I took my way |
| I met a maid, she was tall and slender |
| Her eyes enticed me some time to stay |
| I said «Fair maid, do you know I love you? |
| Tell me your name and your dwelling, oh so?» |
| «Oh, excuse my name, but you’ll find my dwelling |
| By the mountain streams where the moorcocks crow.» |
| I said «Fair maid, if you wed a farmer |
| You’ll be tied for life tae one plot of land |
| I’m a rovin' Johnny, if you gone wi' me |
| You will have no ties, so gi' me your hand.» |
| «Ah, but if my parents knew I loved a rover |
| It is that I’m sure would be my overthrow |
| So I’ll stay at home for another season |
| By the mountain streams where the moorcocks crow.» |
| «So it’s fare thee well, love, another season |
| We will meet again in yon woodland vale |
| And I’ll set you down all upon my knee, love |
| And I’ll listen to your lovesick tale |
| «And it’s arm in arm we will go together |
| Through the lofty trees, in the valley below |
| Where the lenties sing their song so sweetly |
| By the mountain streams where the moorcocks crow.» |
