Highland Mary lyrics
Highland Mary (Robert Burns) Ye banks, and
braes, and streams around The castle o' Montgomery, Green be your
woods, and fair your flowers, Your waters never drumlie! There
Simmer first unfald her robes, And there the langest tarry: For
there I took the last Fareweel O'my sweet Highland Mary. How
sweetly bloom'd the gay, green birk, How rich the hawthorn's
blossom; As underneath their fragrant shade, I clasp'd her to my
bosom! The golden Hours, on angel wings, Flew o'er me and my
Dearie; For dear to me as light and life Was my sweet Highland
Mary. Wi' mony a vow, and lock'd embrace, Our parting was
fu'tender; And pledging aft to meet again, We tore oursels
asunder: But Oh, fell Death's untimely frost, That nipt my Flower
sae early! Now green's the sod, and cauld's the clay, That wraps my
Highland Mary! 0 pale, pale now, those rosy lips I aft hae kiss'd
sae fondly! And clos'd for ay, the sparkling glance, That dwalt on
me sae kindly! And mouldering now in silent dust, That heart that
lo'ed me dearly! But still within my bosom's core Shall live my
Highland Mary. Tune: Katharine Ogie (389) filename[HIGHMARY play.exe HIGHMARY ARB ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
