- Banks of The Bann
The Banks Of The Bann
When first unto this country a stranger I came
I placed my affections on a maid that was young
She being young and tender, her waist small and slender
Kind nature had formed her for my overthrow
On the banks of the Bann is where I first beheld her
- Black bird
I am a young maiden, my story is sad
For once I was carefree and in love with a lad
He courted me sweetly by night and by day
But now he has left me and gone far away
Chorus:
Oh if I was a blackbird, could whistle and sing
I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in
- Donald MacGillavry
Donald's gane up the hill hard and hungry,
Donald comes down the hill wild and angry;
Donald will clear the gouk's nest cleverly,
Here's to the king and Donald Macgillavry.
Come like a weighbauk, Donald Macgillavry,
Come like a weighbauk, Donald Macgillavry,
Balance them fair, and balance them cleverly:
Off wi'the counterfeit, Donald Macgillavry.
- Donald McGillavry
Donald's gane up the hill hard and hungry,
Donald comes down the hill wild and angry;
Donald will clear the gouk's nest cleverly,
Here's to the king and Donald MacGillavry.
Come like a weighbauk, Donald MacGillavry,
Come like a weighbauk, Donald MacGillavry,
Balance them fair, and balance them cleverly:
Off wi'the counterfeit, Donald MacGillavry.
- Down Too Deep
Another day almost gone
It won’t be long ‘till you are out of here and you will soon be home
Just thank God it’s Friday night
You know a little bar where you can disappear quite out of sight
CHORUS
You don’t laugh like you should
You don’t smile like you should
- Fhear A Bhata
How often haunting the highest hilltop
I scan the ocean, a sail to see
Will it come tonight, love, will it come tomorrow
Will it ever come, love, to comfort me
Fhear-a-bhata, no horoway-la
Fhear-a-bhata, no horoway-la
Fhear-a-bhata, no horoway-la
- Glasgow Peggy
As they came on to Glasgow town,
And passd the banks and braes sae bonny,
There they espied the weel-faurd may,
And she said to them her name was Peggy.
Their chief did meet her father soon,
And O! but he was wondrous angry;
Says, Ye may steal my owsen and kye,
But ye maunna steal my bonnie Peggy.
- Golden, golden
GOLDEN, GOLDEN
Slowly, slowly, walk the path,
And you might never stumble or fall.
Slowly, slowly, walk the path,
And you might never fall in love at all.
CHORUS:
- If I Was A Blackbird
I am a young sailor, my story is sad,
Though once I was carefree and a brave sailor lad,
I courted a lassie by night and by day,
Oh but now she has left me, and sailed far away.
Oh, if I was a blackbird could whistle and sing,
I'd follow the vessel my true love sails in,
And in the top riggin' I would there build my nest,
- Lover's Heart
She was in the flowery garden when first she caught my eye
And I just a marching soldier she smiled as I passed by
The flowers she held were fresh and fair, her lips were full and red
And as I passed that shady bower, these words to me she said
"Last night we spoke of love, now we're forced to part
You leave to the sound of a marching drum and the beat of a lovers heart
She was by the shore in the evening when next I saw my dear
- my love's in germany
My luve's in Germanie, send him hame, send him hame
My luve's in Germanie, send him hame
My luve's in Germanie, fighting brave for royalty
He may ne'er his Jeannie see, send him hame, send him hame
He may ne'er his Jeannie see -
send him hame.
He's as brave as brave can be, send him hame, send him hame
- Rambling Rover
RAMBLIN` ROVER
Chorus:
Oh, there're sober men and plenty,
And drunkards barely twenty,
There are men of over ninety
That have never yet kissed a girl.
But give me a ramblin' rover,

- The Banks of the Lee
Where true lovers meets and beneath the green bower
Where true lovers meet and beneath a green tree
And Mary oh found Mary she says until our true love
You have stolen my young heart on the banks of the Lee
And I loved her very dearly most truly and sincerely
There is no one in this wild world I loved more than she
Every bush end every bower every wild Irish flower
- The Chill Eastern Winds
Prepare you sweet flowers, for winter advances And
drink well the sunlight that touches your form.
Draw strength from the earth and repay her with
beauty, For the dark days are comin', oh, and
they'll do you harm.
When the chill eastern winds replace summer
breezes, And the long summer days are remembered
- The Isla Waters
I have funds tae buy me whiskey
Monie funds tae call my ain
But if I should get to fu' o' water
Wha's the man that would carry me hame?
CHORUS: And if I be dround in the Isla Waters
Hou the deuce would I win Hame?
If I be drounk in the Isla Waters
- The Loch Tay Boat Song
When I've done my work of day,
And I row my boat away,
Doon the waters of Loch Tay,
As the evening light is fading
And I look upon Ben Lawers
Where the after glory glows;
And I think on two bright eyes
And the melting mouth below.
- The Queen Of Argyll
Gentlemen it is my duty
To inform you of one beauty
Though I'd ask of you a favor
Not to seek her for a while
Though I own she is a creature
Of character and feature
No words can paint the picture
Of the Queen of all Argyll.
- The Ramblin' Rover
in honour of all that fabulous, well-meaning lunatics
Oh, there're sober men in plenty,
And drunkards barely twenty,
There are men of over ninety
That have never yet kissed a girl.
But gie me a ramblin' rover,
And fae Orkney down to Dover.
- Valley of Strathmore
THE VALLEY OF STRATHMORE
By the clear and the winding streams
In the Valley of Strathmore,
Where my love and I have been,
Where we'll wander nevermore.
Chorus:
- Wha'll be king but cherlie
WHA'LL BE KING BUT CHERLIE?
Come through the heather, around him gather
You're all the welcomer early
Around him cling with all your kin
For wha'll be King but Cherlie
Come through the heather, around him gather
- Wha'll be King, but Charlie
Come through the heather, around him gather,
Ye're a' the welcomer early
Around him cling wi' a' your kin,
For wha'll be King but Charlie?
Come through the heather, around him gather,
Come, Ronald, come Donald, come a' the gither
And crown your rightfu' lawfu' King!
For wha'll be King, but Charlie?
- 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
- Willie Archer
O as I was a-walking down by yon mill-town,
The fair and lovely mountains they did me surround;
'Twas there I saw a fair maid, and to me she looked grand;
She was plucking wild roses on the banks of the Bann.
So I stepped up to this fair one, and to her I did say,
"Since nature has formed us for to meet on this day --
Since nature has formed us, won't you give me your hand,
- МакГиловри
Donald come up the hill hard and hungry,
Donalds come doon the hill wild and angry;
Donald will clear the gouk's nest cleverly, [gouk = cuckoo]
Here's to King James and to Donald McGillavry.
Come like a weigh-bauk, Donald McGillavry, [weigh-bauk = scales]
Come like a weigh-bauk, Donald McGillavry,
Balance them fair, and balance them cleverly:
Off wi' the counterfeit, Donald McGillavry.
