Banks of Sweet Dundee Pt. 1 |
It’s of a farmer’s daughter, so beautiful I’m told |
Her parents died and left her with 500 pounds in gold |
She lived with her uncle, the source of all her woe |
As you will hear this maiden did prove his overthrow |
Her uncle had a plough-boy, young Mary loved full well |
T’was in her uncle’s garden that their tales of love did tell |
There was a wealthy squire, who oft came her to see |
But still Mary loved her plough-boy on the banks of sweet Dundee |
Her uncle rose one morning and then went straight away |
He knocked on her bedroom and unto her thus did say |
Rise up fair maiden, a lady you shall be |
For the squire is waiting for you on the banks of sweet Dundee |
A fig for all your squires, your lords and dukes likewise |
My Williams hand appears to me, like diamonds in my eyes |
